«Miseria e Grandeza Do Amor De Benedita» is the novel by Joao Ubaldo Ribeiro, published by Publicacoes Dom Quixote in paperback, in Spanish.
The starting point is the death of Deoquinha Jegue Ruço, a womanizer from northeastern Brazil married to Benedita. From there, Deoquinha's trajectory is reconstructed, as he fathered several children outside marriage. Benedita, however, is the one who sustains the plot; the author carefully builds the characters.
The work, originally written in Portuguese, was published in 2000; the Spanish edition arrived in 2012.
For readers of literary fiction interested in Brazilian literature and novels focused on character development.

Ribeiro was a member of the Brazilian Academy of Letters, being elected in 1994. At the time of his death many considered him to be Brazil's greatest contemporary novelist.
