Description: A story carved out of blood, revenge and power conflicts. Scenario of fights, ambushes, raping, massacres, kidnappings, rapes. And also of mysteries, legends, friendship, love and faith. The cangaço, social movement that occurred in the Brazilian Northeast between the 1920s and 1940s, presented in new perspective through the lenses and the accounts of its main characters, mostly almost centenarian, and descendants. From 2007 to 2019, author Ricardo Beliel and his wife, poet Luciana Nabuco (who signs the preface and the postface to the book), made nine trips to cover 11,000 kilometers of roads in 49 locations, in the states of Alagoas, Pernambuco, Bahia, Sergipe, Rio Grande do Norte, Ceará, São Paulo and Minas Gerais, to collect their powerful and intimate narratives and images "respecting its original languages and the importance of the tradition of oral culture", stresses the author.
