Urupês

Summary

Fourteen stories of the São Paulo countryside by Monteiro Lobato, among them Os Faroleiros, O Engraçado Arrependido, A Colcha de Retalhos, Velha Praga and the title piece, where the lazy backwoodsman Jeca Tatu is introduced. The 1918 book made Lobato famous with its dry humour and its unsentimental view of country poverty. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur. This book contains scenes of violence as its author wrote them.
