the cruel life of the internal migrant in Brazil,
By Atlantico Book Importer, Inc. "Elena with Atl... (Astoria, Queens, New York, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: A Hora Da Estrela (Paperback)
This is one of Lispector's best books, and it gives you a deep sense of the life of one unfortunate woman, Macabéa. Macabéa is part of a huge migration in Brazil--of unemployed Northerners who try for a better life in the big cities of the Southeast. Macabéa embodies the ugliest, cruelest stereotypes that Brazilians hold about people from the North: she is unwashed, uneducated, unhealthy, and ugly. Macabéa tries to find her footing in São Paulo, but life is not kind to her.This book reveals a lot of truth about Brazilian culture and about life in the big city. If you like A Hora da Estrela, consider A Maca no Escuro and A paixao segundo G.H: Romance (Portuguese Edition). |
