About the book

Mario Vargas Llosa's The War of the End of the World is based on the Canudos conflict in late nineteenth-century Brazil. A charismatic religious leader gathers a community of impoverished followers, who eventually come into violent conflict with the newly established Brazilian republic. The novel explores fanaticism, politics, poverty and the catastrophic consequences of misunderstanding between opposing worlds.
