hardcover. Etat : Very Good in Dustjacket. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. First Edition. New York. 1967. Macmillan. 1st Printing. Very Good in Dustjacket. Translated from the Portuguese by Linton Lomas Barrett & Marie Mcdavid Barrett. 439 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Paul Bacon. Photograph of author/Studio 'Os Dois'-Brazil. keywords: Latin America Brazil Literature Translated. DESCRIPTION - The story begins with the dramatic arrival in the capital of Don Gabriel Heliodoro Alvarado, El Sacramento's new ambassador. Over six feet tall, of enormous physical prowess, he is also endowed with an insatiable sexual appetite. Uneducated, handsome, half-Indian, he has been a hero in the guerrilla fighting in the mountains of El Sacramento that propelled the present dictator into office. Yet, even as he arrives, his country is boiling up for a new revolution, and is desperately in need of arms and money from the United States. Miss Ogilvy, indestructible pillar of the Sacramento Embassy, has survived dozens of El Sacramento crises: one revolution, a coup d'etat, four ambassadors, and numerous ministers and secretaries, but even this stalwart lady is somewhat nonplussed by His Excellency. She is also deeply concerned with the emotional problems of Pablo Ortega, an embassy attache, a dark, attractive young idealist tormented by a keen sense of guilt for serving a government he considers corrupt. Other members of the embassy staff include a highly amusing homosexual, a minister who has lost his faith in God, and another who has lost his beautiful wife to the delights of the bed of Don Alvarado. As the cocktail parties, surface amenities, and subterranean plotting of diplomatic Washington bloom with the cherry trees, the threatened revolution in El Sacramento boils to fever height. Victory for a new set of rebels, meaning, of course, a new dictatorship, grows more imminent daily. This danger triggers personal decisions and actions among the embassy staff-flight to Europe, suicide, or a return to their native country to join forces with the rebels or the government, to kill or be killed. Don Alvarado is the towering figure in the book, but even the minor characters are drawn in the round-the American journalist who is involved in El Sacramento's troubles, the exiled liberal from El Sacramento who is mysteriously eliminated, the passionate Rosalia, and her rival for the ambassador's favors, the coolly blonde American socialite. inventory #7135.
