This novel tells the story of Portuguese João Romão, owner of bettola in the district of Botafogo, and of his obstinate anxiety to become rich, for which he does not look into anyone’s face. The Slum is considered to be the masterpiece of the author and the greatest novel, inspired by naturalism. It was published in 1890 in Rio de Janeiro, city, which makes the background of the story. You can witness obssesive love affair between a strong, avaricious landowner Romao, immigrant merchant and a vivacious mulatto woman Rita, who both live in a tenement owned by said landlord. The two immigrant heroes in archetypal situations are originally Portuguese, and thus personify, two alternate outsider responses to Brazil. There is no consensus, there is temporary interruption of the relationship between the two.
