4.0

Esse é um dos clássicos da Literatura brasileira do naturalismo que ainda não tinha lido,posso dizer que me causou um certo incômodo com o retrato cru de uma sociedade carioca carregada de instintos primitivos de sobrevivência e sexuais,de corrupção moral e decadência humana. Ainda mais que é uma pequena amostra do que ainda somos como país.
De exclusão social,burguesia e classe alta ignorantes e "chubregas".
Este livro é como um experimento social,tendo o "cortiço " e seus moradores como objeto de estudo, de camadas e camadas da sobrevivência e influência do meio sobre o comportamento humano.
É claro que Alvares Azevedo encerra o livro de forma impactante com a silencio resignado ,um protesto mortal de Bertoleza, um ciclo respetivo que se fecha, vivemos e sempre voltamos ao mesmo lugar.

OOF. bitch. i am.......girl. mama. honey. speechless. gooped. gagged. wig. etc

like everytime i read these realist/naturalist late-19th century novels that put the heat on the back of my neck I can't help but try and impersonate what it would be like – what it musthave been like really – to read this in 1890, completely clueless. what a ruckus it must have been! what a thunder it must have been on the heart of hypocrites and progressists alike. this book feels hot, as in actually warm, as in you can make out the rays of oppressive sun hitting you in the forehead as you read it. i think i must have had like 50 cups of coffee in the days i read it bc it just feels like a book you need to read while drinking scorching hot paint black coffee. it took me a while to get into it, i even told my husband when i was about 25% in that i wasn't really enjoying it, that not much was happening, but literally just a few more pages in i was totally hooked and til the end of it i couldn't drop it any longer. loved it
