  • "In nineteenth-century Brazil, just after the establishment of the Republic, an apocalyptic movement led by a mysterious prophet in the Brazilian backlands establishes the state of Canudos, a republic that is home to all the damned of the Earth: prostitutes, bandits, beggars, and every kind of outcast, who reject every aspect of the modern state. In it there is no money, property, marriage, income tax, decimal system, or census. It is a place where history and civilization have been wiped away. Canudos is a cauldron for the revolutionary spirit in its purest form, a state with all the potential for a true, libertarian paradise that the forces of the modern world and the nation-state cannot tolerate, and one the Brazilian government is determined to crush at any cost. In this novel, the author tells his own version of the real story of Canudos, inhabiting characters on both sides of the massive, cataclysmic battle between the society and government troops. The resulting novel is a retelling of a crucial event in Latin American revolutionary history, a story of passion, violence, and the devastation that follows from fanaticism, as well as a tale of idealism, adventure, and man's struggle to be free. -- From back cover."@en
  • "The "War of the End of the World" is one of the great modern historical novels. Inspired by a real episode in Brazilian history, Mario Vargas Llosa tells the story of an apocalyptic movement, led by a mysterious prophet, in which prostitutes, beggars and bandits establish Canudos, a new republic, a libertarian paradise."@en
  • "Epos over de lotgevallen van een religieuze sekte, die in de binnenlanden van Brazilië aan het eind van de 19e eeuw in opstand komt tegen de jonge republiek."
  • "An apocalyptic prophet in the Brazilian backlands creates the state of Canudos. In it there is no money, property, marriage, income tax, decimal system, or census."
  • "Deep within the remote backlands of nineteenth-century Brazil lies Canudos, home to all the damned of the earth: prostitutes, bandits, beggars, and every kind of outcast. It is a place where history and civilization have been wiped away. There is no money, no taxation, no marriage, no census. Canudos is a cauldron for the revolutionary spirit in its purest form, a state with all the potential for a true, libertarian paradise--and one the Brazilian government is determined to crush at any cost. In perhaps his most ambitious and tragic novel, Mario Vargas Llosa tells his own version of the real story of Canudos, inhabiting characters on both sides of the massive, cataclysmic battle between the society and government troops. The resulting novel is a fable of Latin American revolutionary history, an unforgettable story of passion, violence, and the devastation that follows from fanaticism."
