Mulatto
Set in the provincial Brazilian state of Maranhao before the abolition of slavery and the establishment of the first republic, this scathing expose relates the story of Raimundo, a young Brazilian of liberal ideas. Mulatto is also a love story, set in motion by biology and sentiment.
The Slum
First published in 1890, and undoubtedly Azevedo's masterpiece, The Slum is one of the most widely read and critically acclaimed novels ever written about Brazil. Indeed, its great popularity, realistic descriptions, archetypal situations, detailed local coloring, and overall race-consciousness may well evoke Huckleberry Finn as the novel's North American equivalent.

Such popular protests have been marginalized by a historiography that tends to label them 'pre-modern' and to privilege workplace organization and protest over community protest"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
