Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In the sweltering streets of nineteenth-century Sao Luis do Maranhao, a brilliant young doctor returns home expecting to settle his affairs and begin a promising future. Instead, Raimundo finds himself trapped in a society built on cruelty, racial prejudice, and polished hypocrisy. As he falls in love with Ana Rosa, the woman he hopes to marry, the hidden truth of his birth becomes a weapon in the hands of those determined to preserve the old order at any cost.The Mulatto is at once a love story, a social indictment, and one of the founding works of Brazilian literary naturalism. Aluisio Azevedo exposes a world where slavery, religious corruption, family ambition, and social respectability work together to crush human dignity. Rich in atmosphere, psychological tension, and unforgettable characters, this novel remains startlingly modern in its portrait of how prejudice survives behind the language of morality and tradition. For readers of classic literature, historical fiction, and socially engaged novels, The Mulatto is a powerful and haunting rediscovery. This item is printed on demand.
