Senhora

Senhora

by Jose de Alencar

"Senhora" is a classic of Brazilian literature that explores the complex social issues of 19th century Brazil. Through the story of Aurélia and Fernando, the novel critiques the decadence of the elite court society, the obsession with wealth and status, and the devaluation of women. Alencar's writing is sharp and witty, and he deftly uses satire to expose the hypocrisy and double standards of his society.
