| Summary: | This article intends to place Paulo Lins’ novel Cidade de Deus and Ferréz’s novels Capão Pecado and Manual prático do ódio in the panorama of Brazilian contemporary “new-realisms”, evaluating thematic choices and narrative techniques and proce- dures. Also, this study analyses the originality of their prose, noting the cautious distance of their aesthetic philosophies and the fundamental elements of their lit- erary universe –poverty, crime and inequality– from any extreme culture of vio- lence. The analysis of this books seeks to reveal another perspective on the issue of the image of the city and urban poverty, usually sensationalist, and to contribute to a better understanding of the complexity of everyday violence in poor urban communities. |
