Os Sertoes (Portuguese)

Os Sertões (translated as Rebellion in the Backlands) (1902) is a book written by the Brazilian author Euclides da Cunha, widely considered one of the greatest achievements of Brazilian and even World literature. Mixing science and literature, the author narrates the story of a war that happened in the end of the 19th century, in Canudos, a settlement of Bahia's backland, an extremely arid region where, still now, struggles against poverty, drought and political corruption continue. During the war (1893-1897) against the republican army, the sertanejo’s (backland’s inhabitant) settlement was commanded by a messianic leader called Antonio Conselheiro.

Influenced by theories like the Positivism and social Darwinism from the end of the 1800s, Cunha discussed the forming of a new Brazilian Republican nation and also its racial composition and its promising future of progress and civilization.
