"With an introduction by Villaça, this 9th edition of Cangaceiros retains the same interest as an epic of the Brazilian sertão as it did when first published in 1953 (see HLAS 19:5325). Author uncovered the state of abandon of the Northeast rural population left at the mercy of the cangaceiros, the outlaws of the sertão. At the same time, in a realistic mode he conveys some of their opposing traits: spirituality and cruelty, lyricism and rawness. The fictional intimacy of the author with his mercurial characters filled the imagination of Brazilians and then worldwide readers following translation of the novel into German, French, and Spanish"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
