The Golden Harvest
''The Golden Harvest'' (Portuguese: ''São Jorge dos Ilhéus'') is a Brazilian Modernist novel. It was written by Jorge Amado from 1942–44, published in Portuguese in 1944 and in English in 1992.
==Background==
''The Golden Harvest'' is one of Amado's works set in the cocoa-growing areas of the Brazilian state of Bahia and concerning the society that grew up around this crop. Others are ''Cacau'' (1933), ''The Violent Land'' (1943), ''Gabriela, Clove and Cinnamon'' (1958), and ''Showdown'' (1984). It is essentially a continuation of ''The Violent Land'' but in the 1930s, when the novel is set, the cocoa economy is already showing signs of civilization, with greater respect for the law and commercial contracts. On the strength of cocoa, the town of Ilhéus in the state of Bahia has been transformed into a major city. Whilst in ''The Violent Land'' disputes were resolved with a bullet, in ''The Golden Harvest'' they are now behind closed office doors. Nevertheless, although Ilhéus is experiencing rapid urban and social reform, some of the old ways endure alongside modernization, including arduous toil, exploitation, greed and violence.〔 The novel tells of the boom when cocoa was more valuable than gold and the subsequent bust and the effect of both boom and bust on the people of Ilheus.
