Pen, Sword, Camisole : ウィキペディア英語版 | Pen, Sword, Camisole ''Pen, Sword, Camisole'' (Portuguese: ''Farda Fardão Camisola de Dormir'') is a Brazilian Modernist novel. It was written by Jorge Amado in 1979. It was published in English in 1985, with a translation by Helen R. Lane. ==Background== ''Pen, Sword, Camisole'' belongs to the second phase of Amado’s writing life when he had largely abandoned the realism and social themes of his earlier works and turned towards an emphasis on female characters such as Dona Flor, Tereza Batista, and Tieta. Like other Amado novels, ''Pen, Sword, Camisole'' combines comic farce and biting satire. Unlike most of the other novels, it is set mainly in Rio de Janeiro rather than in Bahia and is a satire of academic and social pretension as well as of Brazil's "New State" (as it was called during the late 1930s and 1940s) under the fascist totalitarian regime of Getúlio Vargas. The story concerns the attempts of the Chief of National Security of the regime to be elected as a member of the Brazilian Academy of Letters. Amado was himself elected to the Academy in 1961. The relationship between politics and art is at the center of the novel. Amado subtitled it ''A Fable to Kindle a Hope''. It is more obviously didactic than his popular novels but “bespeaks a passionate humanism”.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20091697,00.html )〕
