The searing novel on which the internationally acclaimed hit film was based. "A
Scarface-like urban epic... punctuated with lyricism and longing" (
Publishers Weekly).
City of God is a gritty, gorgeous tour de force from one of Brazil's most notorious slums. Cidade de Deus: a place where the streets are awash with narcotics, where violence can erupt at any moment over drugs, money, and love-but also a place where the samba beat rocks till dawn, where the women are the most beautiful on earth, and where one young man wants to escape his background and become a photographer.
When
City of God erupted on screens worldwide, it became one of the most critically and commercially successful foreign films of recent years. But few were aware of the story behind the film. Written by Paulo Lins, who grew up in the favela (shantytown) Cidade de Deus in Rio de Janeiro and who spent years researching its gang history,
City of Godbegan life as a coruscating, harrowing novelistic account of twenty years in the illicit pursuits of the youth gangs born from the favela.
"With plot devices sometimes as minimal as the dawning of a new day,
City of God seems more like a mosaic than a novel, but it's a mosaic with unforgettably vibrant colors." -
