Contexto Histórico e Cultural
Publicada no Brasil em 1996, durante um período de transição económica e política marcado pela crise do Plano Real e pela luta contra a corrupção, "O Rei do Gado" ressoa com a frustração coletiva diante do capitalismo desregulado. A novela retrata um protagonista camponês que, após assumir a responsabilidade de uma fazenda após a morte de seu irmão, se envolve com uma família de donos de terras poderosa, tornando-se involuntariamente parte de uma rede de interesses políticos e criminosos.
