Amar, Verbo Intransitivo by Mario de Andrade
Set in the vibrant city of São Paulo, this novel explores the complexities of love and societal norms through the story of a young man named Carlos. As he navigates the transition from adolescence to adulthood, Carlos is introduced to the world of romance and passion by a sophisticated German governess, Fräulein Elza. Their relationship, orchestrated by Carlos's parents to "educate" him in the ways of love, challenges the boundaries of propriety and personal freedom. Through lyrical prose and rich character development, the narrative delves into themes of innocence, desire, and the intricate dance between societal expectations and personal fulfillment.
