Hello everyone!!We're back talking about Brazilian Literature, with a long overdue request! It's "Golden Harvest" or "São Jorge dos Ilhéus", by Jorge Amado!The horrors of capitalism are everywhere, and none less here, where the forces of empire and capital seek to make Brazilian cocoa production their own, with no regard for people and their lives.So come along in this historically inspired novel to further deepen the obviousness that we must abolish the present state of things.Enjoy!If you can and are interested in early episodes and our bonus content, soon to be plenty more, check out our Patreon!https://www.patreon.com/leftpage Also!
