The War of Don Emmanuel's Nether Parts

A farcical tragedy inextricably entangled with myth, Louis de Bernieres's brilliant first novel is an intoxicating story of life, love, and politics in South America. The war begins when the haughty Dona Constanza tries to divert the village river to fill her swimming pool, and the ensuing events become more and more weird and funny.
