The Continent," the first volume of Érico Veríssimo's trilogy "O Tempo e o Vento," depicts the formation and evolution of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, through the intertwined lives of several families over generations. Set in the 18th and 19th centuries, the narrative combines historical events and personal dramas, portraying the struggles and resilience of the region's settlers. Central to the story is the Terra-Cambará family, whose lineage and conflicts reflect the broader societal changes and cultural dynamics of the time. Veríssimo's rich, character-driven storytelling offers a vivid exploration of Brazilian history and identity.
