Title : Suor - Jorge Amado - book

• Summary

In the heart of old Bahia, an old colonial building, seemingly like any other, at number 68 Montée-du-Pelourinho. Four floors. A dark staircase. Fernandes's bistro at the front. In the one hundred and sixteen rooms, more than six hundred people, not counting the rats. Isaac, Dona Risoleta, the sweet Linda, the black Henrique, Artur, whose machine crushed both arms, who begs and scares the children, the agitator Alvaro Lima... it is a whole world supposedly without hygiene and morals that Jorge Amado stages in this single place that evokes the arena of the ancient theater and where the pillory for slaves once stood. A sick, rebellious, miserable world, sweating with the sweat of the oppressed, giving off the smell of a dead man's room, but which loves and remains vitality itself, and will perhaps one day be able to upset its condition, even though it is the most desperate.
