A very rich and exotic novel . . . tells the story of Pedro Archanjo, mestizo, self-taught ethnologist, apostle of miscegenation, laborer, cult priest, and bon vivant. . . . Amado’s joyous, exuberant, almost magical descriptions of festivals, puppet shows, African rituals, local legends, fascinating customs, strange and wonderful characters . . . result in a richness and warmth that are impossible to resist. —Washington Post
A most enjoyable romp. —New York Times
Tent of Miraclesmay well be Amado’s masterpiece. —Christian Science Monitor
Delightful ribaldry and exotic trimmings . . . Bahia surely has no greater poet than Jorge Amado. —
Saturday Review
