He is ruthless in his exploitation of his fellow man, but when he makes a match with a fine young woman, he is surprised to discover that this latest acquisition, as he sees it, may be somewhat harder to handle. It is in Paulo Honório's own rough-hewn voice that the great Brazilian writer Graciliano Ramos, often compared to William Faulkner, tells this gritty and dryly funny story of triumph and comeuppance, a tour de force of the writer's art that is beautifully captured in Padma Viswanathan's new translation.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"NYRB Classics","offers":[{"title":"São Bernardo | Graciliano Ramos | Paperback | 9781681373850 | New | Fiction 1210334","offer_id":50550596337922,"sku":"1210334","price":29.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/41DgNPuf72L.jpg?v=1790469516","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/sao-bernardo","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
