Synopsis "Cacao (in Spanish)"

Publicada en 1933, la novela Cacao participa de una de las grandes inquietudes siempre presentes, de una forma u otra, en las obras del popular escritor brasileño Jorge Amado. La novela relata la vida cotidiana de los trabajadores en la hacienda del coronel Mané Frajelo, el rey del cacao, y cómo el despotismo de los patronos acaba despertando la solidaridad en los trabajadores y el ansia en su protagonista, José Cordeiro, de una existencia más justa y mejor.
