Innocencia by Visconde de Alfredo d'Escragnolle Taunay Taunay
"Innocencia" by Visconde de Alfredo d'Escragnolle Taunay is a regionalist novel published in 1872. Set in the Brazilian sertão, it tells the story of a young woman promised in marriage to a violent cattle dealer chosen by her authoritarian father. When a wandering pharmacist posing as a doctor arrives to treat her illness, forbidden love blooms in secret. A mute dwarf watches everything. This tragic romance, often called the "sertanejo Romeo and
Juliet," captures the clash between passion and patriarchal tradition in Brazil's rural heartland. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
