Description
Nazaré tells the story of a peasants' revolt in a polyglot city. A miracle sets off a chain of events when a homeless boy discovers a whale washed up on the beach. As the town tries to push it back into the ocean, a freak wave pulls the creature back in, signaling change is coming.
A ragtag army forms around the boy and his adoptive washerwoman, comprising fishermen, shopkeepers, former nuns, and others from different walks of life. They attempt to overthrow the dictator who rules their city, facing pitched battles, trials, rooftop escapes, and desert wanderings. The legend of the giant wave, Nazaré, looms over them, threatening to destroy everything.
This adventure and parable pits the oppressed against the oppressor, exploring issues of justice through inventive language, humor, and a unique blend of elements reminiscent of Gabriel García Márquez and Mario Vargas Llosa's works.
