Published in 1995, this book has as narrator the young Mardoqueu Stern, son of Lithuanian Jewish immigrants who arrived in Brazil just before World War II. With his friend Carlos and with his girlfriend Ana Lúcia, Mardoqueu experiences conflicts within and outside his family environment, in a narrative that discusses religious and racial prejudice in Brazilian society. In this work it is also highlighted how the reading of this book can contribute to provide to young people this debate, still very necessary, in schools as well as in other reading areas.
