Cr�ticas:

"Written between 1955 and 1960, Child of the Dark is the daily journal of an artist, a writer who, as the single mother of three young children, supports her family by picking through garbage for paper and scraps to sell. They live in a cardboard and wood-scrap shack in a Brazilian slum called the favelas, where there is no plumbing, and one public cold-water spigot is the only clean water source for several hundred people. Her journal documents the lives favelados are forced to live....Carolina de Jesus is a poet of intense dignity."--500 Great Books by Women

"A haunting chronicle...a dramatic document of the dispossessed that both shocks and moves the reader."--New York Herald Tribune

"It is a minor classic--because it is one of the very few books that have ever been written about the lowest and the poorest, les mis�rables, by one of themselves."--Horizon

"It is both an ugly book and a touchingly beautiful book. It carries protest and it carries compassion. There is even bitter humor. As a fast-paced and strangely observant account of sheer misery, Child of the Dark is an immensely disturbing study of what can happen to a segment of the population of one of the world's potentially wealthiest nations...a rarely matched essay on the meaning and feeling of hunger, degradation, and want."--The New York Times Book Review

Rese�a del editor:

This dramatic true account of life in the streets of Sao Paulo, from 1955 to 1960, introduced the world to the plight of the poor as an artist, a writer and single mother of three children, while living in a hovel, supports her family by digging through the garbage for paper and scraps to sell. Reissue.

Descripci�n Softcover. Condici�n: New. Anniversary. A powerful and gripping memoir depicting the harsh realities of life in the favelas of Brazil in the 1950s, and one womans resilience in the face of poverty, racism, and social inequality.Living in poverty in a Brazilian favela, or slum, Carolina tried to scrape together a living by collecting recyclables. Among the trash, she found notebooks and papers that she salvaged to write on, and she used these found papers to craft novels, poetry, plays, letters to authorities-as well as her own journal.In this stunning diary of perseverance in the face of adversity, violence, and starvation, Carolina Maria de Jesus offers a firsthand account of life in the streets of So Paulo that, upon its first publication over 50 years ago, drew international attention to the plight of the poor.A unique historical account and a critical work in the canon of Afro-Brazilian literature, Child of the Dark offers an essential perspective on the realities and cruelties of life in a favela at the beginning of the modernization of the city of So Paulo. Its themes of struggles against marginalization, classism, and racism continue to resonate today.Includes eight pages of photographs and an afterword by Robert M. LevineTranslated from the Portuguese by David S. Clair. N� de ref. del art�culo: DADAX0451529103
