When her cousin Santos Luzardo returns to the plains in order to reclaim his land and cattle, he reluctantly faces off against Dona Barbara, and their battle becomes simultaneously one of violence and seduction.

Trade Review
"Remarkable.... From its first pages it reveals why it made Romulo Gallegos famous.... If Senor Gallegos is one-half as good a President as he is a novelist, Venezuela is a lucky land." (New York Times) "An exciting heroic tale of the life of Venezuelan plainsmen, master and peons, ranchers and cowboys and horse thieves." (New Republic)"
