Tieta, The Goat Girl
(Jorge Amado)
?Tieta, the Goat Girl, shepherd of goats, or the return of the prodigal daughter, drama-novel in five sensational episodes and impressive epilogue: emotion and suspense!? Jorge Amado?s book announces thus and fulfills the promises to all. The story of Tieta, shepherd of goats from Santana of the Agrest (Bahia Brazil) who is banished from the land by her own father and returns years later, much richer thanks to prostitution, is narrated in an informal tone. Funny and sensual, the book brings unforgettable characters, such as the sister of the protagonist, Perpetual; her nephew Ricardo; and the colonel Arthur of the Tapitanga. Jorge Amado uses and abuses of regional expressions and folklore to create an involving narrative, in which the author sometimes becomes one of the characters of the story and gives his own opinions in relation to the plot. It was transformed into soap-opera of great success, with Betty Faria as Tieta, and later into a movie, with actress Sônia Braga as the protagonist.
