O Cortico (portuguese) Hd App - O Cortico (portuguese) for iPad & Reviews

Published in 1890, this Brazilian naturalistic novel by Aluísio de Azevedo, known in English as The Slum, depicts the lives of Portuguese and other European immigrants, as well as “mullatos” and former slaves who share the same tenement house in Rio de Janeiro’s poor, hot suburbs in the late 19th century. Highly influenced by Determinism and Darwinism, the book shows how people, moved by greed and lust, often behave like animals, at the same time it describes the Slum itself almost like a living entity. A breakthrough work for its time, O Cortiço analyzes with objective eyes polemic themes such as racial relations, class struggles, women’s role in society, and homosexuality.
