Story
A festa do Bode é um dos romances mais importantes de Mario Vargas Llosa, laureado com o Nobel de Literatura em 2010 . Com uma pesquisa histórica rigorosa e uma preocupação flaubertiana pelos detalhes, ele recria uma República Dominicana de meados do século XX para recontar a história do general Rafael Leonidas Trujillo Molina—o "Bode"—e a implacável ditadura que implantou no país durante seus 31 anos de governo.

A valentia do gaúcho, estampada com o colorido peculiar da linguagem de Simões Lopes Neto, conduz os enredos desses dois contos aqui reunidos. Em tom de "causo", "Juca Guerra" traz a história do protagonista, centrada na bravura que demostrou num rodeio dos pampas. "Contrabandista", por sua vez, faz um recorte da vida de Jango Jorge, no dia do casamento da filha; além disso, o conto é um registo histórico do contrabando na fronteira sul do país.

A figura do "caboclo" faz a ponte entre esses textos de Monteiro Lobato. Na crônica "Velha praga", um tema atualíssimo é abordado: as queimadas; em 1914, elas devastaram a Serra da Mantiqueira, sendo o caboclo o responsável. Já no conto "Café! Café!", compara-se a estupidez do caboclo à do Major Mimbuia, plantador de café que tudo perde e enlouquece com a queda do preço do café.
