Urupês
By Monteiro Lobato
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.
