Summary
Joaquim Arena: The Tiger Man and Mister Charles
An exceptional literary achievement crowned with the Oceanos Award for the best work in the Portuguese language published in 2023. The author's fictitious plot is based on the fact that the young Charles Darwin spent a short time on the Cape Verde Islands, where, while researching the local flora and fauna, he came across a black man with large white spots on his skin.
Through their friendship, the author gives us a picture of the rich and somewhat dissolute life of the court and the high society from which a hero comes, to whom he contrasts the pain and suffering, the doubts and prejudices of the life of the natives of Brazil and the Cape Verde Islands, from which he comes. others.
Nevertheless, both destinies carry their secrets, fears and disappointments, which the author masterfully intertwines with historical facts at the end of the novel.
