Clara dos Anjos
Book • 2024
Clara dos Anjos is a significant work by Lima Barreto, focusing on the life of a young black woman in the suburbs of Rio de Janeiro during the early 20th century.
The novel critiques social and racial prejudices, and it is notable for its portrayal of the urban experience and the cultural and social life of the city.
Despite the title, the story is not solely about Clara but rather a broader critique of society, highlighting the indifference and mistreatment of poor and black women.
The novel also explores themes of broken dreams, disillusionment, and the moral dilemmas faced by women in such circumstances.
The suburbs themselves become a central character, reflecting the social, cultural, and economic changes of the time.
