GEBCO: discoverer and year of discovery (en): Discoverer: U.S. research vessel "Robert D. Conrad". Year of discovery: 1989. History: Named after the Brazilian writer JORGE Leal AMADO de Faria (1912-2001). He originated from the State of Bahia where he is one of the most famous personalities, which justifies that Jorge Amado seamount is among the Bahia seamounts. He was a member of the Brazilian Letters Academy from 1961 until his death in 2001. He was made Doctorate Honoris Causa from several universities in Brazil, Portugal, Italy, Israel and France, as well as other honors in many South American country. Jorge Amado published his first novels "The Country of Carnival" and "Cacau" in 1931, at age 18. In 1935 his works were banned from Portugal, but he gained great popularity in the rest of Europe with the publication of "Jubiabá" in France. On his return to Brazil in 1954, he abandoned politics and focused on his books. His second creative phase began in 1958 with the novels "Gabriela", "Clove" and "Cinnamon", which was described by the French writer Jean-Paul Sartre as "the best example of a folk novel". Jorge Amado produced a series of novels focusing mainly on feminine characters and on the traditions and beauties of Bahia. "Tereza Batista: Home from the Wars" and "Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands" are also famous novels. Many of his books have the sea as the main character, where he shows that men admire and love the sea, which they consider as the dominant force in their live and the source of their religious belief. |
