Urupês

Summary

Fourteen stories of the São Paulo countryside by Monteiro Lobato, among them The Lighthouse Keepers, The Funny Repentant Man, The Patchwork Quilt, Old Pest 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. (Urupês, the title, is the name of a wood-rotting fungus used as the book's central image.)
