About the Author

Raduan Nassar (Author) Raduan Nassar was born in 1935, in Pindorama, in the state of S o Paulo, Brazil. He was raised mainly in small rural towns, then went on to study Law at the University of S o Paulo. Like his Lebanese immigrant family, the author's life has been bound in agriculture and writing. Ancient Tillage (1975) and A Cup of Rage (1978), a novella, are his two major literary works. He also worked as a journalist and editor for the newspaper Jornal do Bairro, jointly founded with his brothers. Although an acclaimed literary author, since 1985 Raduan Nassar has led a private existence dedicated to farming and livestock production. He retired to a smaller farm in 2011, having donated his entire commercial property to the agricultural departments of the Federal University of S o Carlos for the creation of a new campus.
