Description

The novel which the internationally-acclaimed hit movie was centered, City of God is just a gritty, beautiful tour-de force in one of Brazil’s many infamous slums. Cidade de Deus: a place where the roads are awash with narcotics, where violence may erupt at any time over medicines, cash, and love—but also a place where the samba beat stones till beginning, where the ladies are the absolute most beautiful on the planet, and where one child really wants to avoid his history and turn into a photographer. It became among the most critically and commercially successful international movies of modern times, when Town of God erupted on displays worldwide. But several were conscious of the history behind the movie.
