This book is a great metaphor for the political issues that was taking place in Brazil at the time this book was written by Moacyr Scliar. This book was recently matter of discussion due to the prized book “Life of Pi” in which a film by the same name was made and is turning a real success of public. Life o Pi by the Canadian writer Yamn Martel is too similar to this book by Moacyr Scliar. It caused some controversy including some plagiarism accusations. But the Brazilian author who passed away in 2011 decided not to sue Yam Martel, considering it was not a plagiarism itself but the appropriation of his idea, something that has happened several times in the history of literature. But Scliar said in an interview to get very upset about the way Martel said to get in touch with his book almost disdaining him as a second category writer.
