DuBose Heyward - Porgy e Bess

Dirty, crippled, and unwanted, Porgy is a black beggar who lives in the shadows of Charleston's streets, entrusting his fate to luck and the gods. Until Bess, like a ray of light, enters his life, and the desire to save her from the clutches of violence and degradation becomes a mission. With unforgettable characters of great psychological and emotional complexity, Porgy and Bess (1925) was a landmark in Southern American literature, considered the first work to portray the black community with realism and depth. A remarkable book, masterfully translated into Portuguese by Jorge de Sena.
