Tenda dos Milagres (Tent of Miracles) is a Brazilian book written by Jorge Amado and published in 1968. It talks mostly about the life of Pedro Archanjo, a poor writer from Bahia who is unexpectedly recognized after his death by an American writer. The book also goes on length about traditions from Bahia, as an Author Appeal.Pedro Archanjo, a mixed man from Salvador, Bahia born in the 19th century, was an amateur anthropologist motivated by his disapproval of the racist atmosphere in Bahian academy at the time, who considered black people an inferior race and unable to produce culture. Pedro Archanjo is also a unrepentant ladies man who fathered more than a dozen kids and never missed a chance to party with his friends, taking from his life's experience to write his books. Despite those contributions, he died penniless in the 1940s.Later, in the middle of the 20th century, his books are rediscovered by Bahian society after a famous American anthropologist and university professor, James Levenson, mentions his works as having influenced him. Cue multiple celebrations all around Brazil.Oh, there's also Fausto Pena, an aspiring poet and sociologist who accompanies Levenson and later tries to do a play about Pedro Archanjo, while being completely in love with the journalist Ana Mercedes, who cheats on him constantly. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed: Pedro Archanjo is based on the real writer Manuel Querino, who was one of the first ones to acknowledge the African influence on Brazilian traditions as a positive thing. Professor Nilo Argolo was based on famous Brazilian anthropologist Nina Rodrigues, who considered black people an inferior race, and mixed people as more prone to criminality due to race mixing. Pedrito Gordo was based on the cop Pedrito Gordilho, who was also infamous for persecuting Candomblé practitioners and Capoeira fighters. Pedro Archanjo and Nilo Argolo's common black ancestor, Bomboxê Oubitkô, seems to be based on Rodolfo Martins de Andrade or Bamboxê Obitikô, who traveled back and forth between Brazil and Africa and had numerous kids. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall: The narration of Fausto Pena (the one tasked with researching about Pedro Archanjo's life by the American writer James Levenson) is frequently speaking to the reader. So are some parts of Pedro Archanjo's life, like the introduction of Rosa de Oxalá and Tadeu's graduation ceremony. | |

Hiding Your Heritage | |
| Tenda dos Milagres / int_55d2dd16 | comment |
Hiding Your Heritage: The traditional families of Bahia have done this for centuries to cover up the existence of black and indigenous family members. This gets blown open after Pedro publishes a book explaining in great detail their family trees. This gets to the point where Pedro and Nilo Argolo are technically related through Bomboxê Oubitkô, an African man. When Pedro finds that out, he exclusively refers to Nilo Argolo as his cousin. | |

Maligned Mixed Marriage: Happens when Tadeu asks Lu's hand in marriage. Her parents, especially her dad, freak out and forbid it because Tadeu is mixed and dark-skinned. They get married anyway, in a small ceremony, and later have kids. | |

Author Appeal: The traditions, especially religious, from Bahia are described frequently, a trait of Jorge Amado. The book frequently jumps back and forth between past and present, as is common in Jorge Amado's books. | |

Politically Incorrect Villain: Professor Nilo Argolo, a very racist teacher in the Medical course from the Federal University of Bahia, who considers the traditions that came from Africa the scourge of earth and regards African people as subhuman. Pedrito Gordo, a cop from Bahia famous for destroying Candomblé services and Capoeira reunions, also persecuting people who practice them (predominantly black people). It's even said that he is the ultimate result of the racist theories that came from the University. | |

| Tenda dos Milagres / int_8b442f50 | comment |
Did Not Get the Girl: Pedro Archanjo never acts upon his feelings by Rosa de Oxalá, due to his loyalty to Lídio Corró. It's then revealed, during the wedding of Rosa's daughter, that she always loved him, but she's now leaving forever, not dancing nor going to Candomblé services anymore (to be able to live with her daughter's in-laws). They leave with a parting kiss, the first and last one. | |

Sadistic Choice | |
| Tenda dos Milagres / int_babc974 | comment |
Sadistic Choice: The reason why Rosa de Oxalá almost never saw her daughter. The girl's father said he'd only recognize the girl as his if she was raised with his sisters, only seeing Rosa sporadically, because that's what his wife wanted. If Rosa didn't comply, her daughter would be treated as a bastard. This is the reason why she had to see her daughter's wedding from the church's tower, instead of being at the altar with the bride. | |
