The Life and Death of Carolina Maria de Jesus

The Life and Death of Carolina Maria de JesusIn the dozen years Carolina Maria de Jesus (1914 1977) lived in a So Paulo, Brazil, shanty slum, she survived by rummaging for junk. She also kept a diary of her abject poverty. Black, illegitimate, and poor, she suddenly became at age forty six Brazil's best selling author when a book drawn from her diaries appeared in 1960. An English translation, Child of the Dark, was published in 1962 and sold over 300,000 copies in the United States in a decade.
