Gabriela, Carnation and Cinnamon

For a Russian person, Jorge Amado is Brazil itself. Its nature, economy, culture, cuisine, beliefs, and holidays, but most importantly - its people, the writer's compatriots, his heroes, his friends. There is no eternity that is more important than a person, more important than his fate, Amado said. Gabriela is a sunny novel. Its main heroine is sincere, naive, selfless, she loves life in all its manifestations. Gabriela, like the sun, brings the warmth of her heart to those around her. She is a song, joy, and a celebration.
