Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Seeds of Suffering - V is the fifth of six books covering Brazilian history from the years 1864 to 1919. Against the backdrop of the Paraguayan War in late 1864, the spirited Camila maintains her lascivious ways. She navigates the various avenues of her carnal lifestyle while Macario, a teen…age boy from her orphanage who suffers from childhood post-traumatic stress disorder, takes up arms in the Brazilian army and endures unspeakable humiliation and trauma. The war sparks enormous cultural changes, including the abolition of slavery, and as Brazil lurches out of a monarchy and into a troubled democracy, massive overcrowding in Rio de Janeiro from the freed slaves creates a hostile environment of racism, poverty, and disease. Despite a tuberculosis outbreak, Camila continues her lifestyle until she, too, contracts the disease and is forced to leave the orphanage to safeguard the health of others. Meanwhile, the city barrels forward even as it struggles to overcome the darkness that threatens to destroy it. A twisting tale of tragedy, adventure, and romance, this compelling novel takes an unapologetic look at the consequences of abuse and its cycle of suffering in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
