About
"Innocencia" by Visconde de Alfredo d'Escragnolle Taunay is a regionalist novel published in 1872. Set in the Brazilian sertão, it tells the story of a young woman promised in marriage to a violent cattle dealer chosen by her authoritarian father. When a wandering pharmacist posing as a doctor arrives to treat her illness, forbidden love blooms in secret. A mute dwarf watches everything. This tragic romance, often called the "sertanejo Romeo and Juliet," captures the clash between passion and patriarchal tradition in Brazil's rural heartland.
