Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Acclaimed as one of the most important books ever written in Portuguese language — maybe in the whole world — and compared to works like The Iliad and The Divine Comedy, The Devil To Pay In The Backlands (Grande Sertão: Veredas, or Big Backcountry: Tracks in English) had its first edition published in 1956, being the only novel written by the Brazilian author João Guimarães Rosa.The book is best know for mixing Neologisms with orality in a non-linear narrative, making it very difficult to understand at first reading, and for its more than 600 pages. It's also studied in Brazilian schools.The story itself consists of Riobaldo, an ex-jagunço (mercenary), telling his past to a man from the city. What follows is betrayal, war, secret identity, conflicts with religion, friendship, homosexuality, deal with the devil and journey of revenge. Everything set in the almost mystical space of the backlands.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })The book had two adaptations, one to the big-screen in 1965 and another in a mineseries from 1985. | |

Attractive Bent-Gender: Diadorim is a case of Sweet on Polly Oliver by herself, but when played by Bruna Lombardi, she's even more attractive◊. | |

Anachronic Order | |
| The Devil to Pay in the Backlands / int_8b6e8d7 | comment |
Anachronic Order: The events are not narrated in chronological order at all. But Riobaldo justifies himself saying that, to tell any memory that way, it must be a thing of little value. | |

Anti Heroes: Mostly of the jagunços. They can kill you for money or for any other reason - but mostly for money - and do your ladies, but they can also give you food, protection and — well — money. | |
