My Sweet Orange Tree
Five-year-old Zeze lives in Rio de Janeiro, in a forgotten slump in great poverty. But Zeze is not alone. In this world of scolding and beating, he has discovered a magical universe where he spends most of his time: the realm of imagination. There rules a sweet orange tree called Minguinho, and he is a tree like no other: he can talk. First published in 1968, this autobiographical novel is one of the most important Brazilian classics.
