'''The War of the End of the World''' is a book written by Peruvian writer MarioVargasLlosa, telling the story of the War of Canudos.
In Brazil, a few years after the empire was abolished, some Christian fanatics, led by the messianic-like figure The Counselor and funded by some loyal monarchists, founded a community taking over private lands in the state of Bahia called Canudos, believing the end of the world is near and the Second Coming is imminent. The recently-formed Brazilian Republic is not happy about it and decides to settle things by force if necessary.
Vargas Llosa’s first attempt at HistoricalFiction.
!!Tropes found on this book:
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: The facas.
* [[spoiler:AnyoneCanDie]]: [[spoiler:And most of them do.]]
* {{BFG}}: The Matadeira.
* BlindWithoutEm: The nearsighted journalist.
* BloodKnight / ColonelKilgore: Colonel Moreira César.

* CivilWar
* ColonelBadass: Moreira César, until [[spoiler:his death.]]
* CrapsackWorld
* DecoyProtagonist: [[spoiler:Galileo Gall.]]
* DisproportionateRetribution: Lots of them. An example: Geraldo Macedo's reaction to a man who beat and insulted one of his men is to slap him to the ground and urinate on him in front of his friends.
* {{Doorstopper}}
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The counselor, the nearsighted journalist and many more.
* FatSweatySouthernerInAWhiteSuit: The Baron of Cañabrava.
* ForegoneConclusion: It’s based on an historical event, so it is to be expected. Aside of that, Vargas Llosa’s continuing use of different tenses means we learn the outcome of some scenes before they actually happen.
* FourLinesAllWaiting
* TheFundamentalist: Everyone on Canudos.
* GlorySeeker: Colonel Geraldo Macedo.
* GoingForTheBigScoop: Though eventually it ends up being too much for the nearsighted journalist to handle.
