    Beyond All Pity By Carolina Maria De Jesus

    Panther (1970 edn.)

    A diary of daily life in a favela in Sao Paulo, one of the city’s slums where the poor live in shacks. Carolina Maria de Jesus describes the daily routine of her life, her hunt for paper and metal to sell so as to buy food for her family. At night she would write her diary on the scraps of paper she collected. Her diary reflected the experience of millions and exposed the injustice of Brazilian society.
