Mauro Mauri: Let's talk about Jorge Amado and his home: two inseparable sides of the same coin, because the Bahian writer never stopped intertwining everyday life and literature. Jorge Amado, the People's Writer • Born in Itabuna (Bahia) in 1912, Jorge Amado was the most translated Brazilian novelist in the world (over 60 languages). • His novels powerfully showcase religious syncretism, sensuality, social struggle, popular Bahia, the poor and the dispossessed, always depicted with dignity. • Amado was not just a narrator: he was also a political activist (he was a member of parliament for the Brazilian Communist Party in the 1940s) and a witness to Brazilian identity around the world. • Always by his side was his wife, Zélia Gattai, a writer and photographer, a guardian of memory and a comrade in cultural battles. Jorge Amado's House Jorge Amado lived in several houses, but the most famous today is the Casa do Rio Vermelho in Salvador, in the neighborhood of the same name. • Address: Rua Alagoinhas, Rio Vermelho – Salvador de Bahia. • ​​Jorge and Zélia lived there from 1960 until their deaths (he in 2001, she in 2008). • It was a meeting place for intellectuals, artists, and politicians from around the world: Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Neruda, García Márquez, and even Brazilian presidents and musicians passed through. • The house is now an interactive museum: it preserves manuscripts, letters, collections of objects, photographs, a library, and mementos of the couple's travels and friendships. It is truly a magical place! • The garden also features the Exu, the orixá of Candomblé, to whom Amado was devoted, a symbol of his deep connection with his Afro-Baja roots. Casa de Jorge Amado Foundation Beyond the private residence, there is the Casa de Jorge Amado Foundation, in the heart of Salvador's Pelourinho. • It houses the writer's literary and photographic archive. • It is a vibrant cultural center: exhibitions, seminars, book presentations, social projects. • It represents Amado's public dimension: his legacy to Bahia and the world. In summary • The Casa do Rio Vermelho tells the story of a private man, the intellectual who loved cooking, entertaining friends, and experiencing Bahian syncretism. • The Casa de Jorge Amado Foundation bears witness to the universal writer, translated and loved everywhere, and his cultural legacy. Visiting both allows you to understand the full spectrum of Jorge Amado: the man, the novelist, the activist, the Bahian proud of his roots. It's worth visiting to understand the strength of this character and Bahia.
