What a beautiful sugar orange sapling! Look, it doesn't have thorns either. He had a lot of personality, it was obvious from afar that he was a sugar orange. If I were your height, I wouldn't want anything else." “But I wanted a big tree.” “Think well, zezé. This is still a young sapling. One day it will turn into a big tree. It will grow with you. You will get along well as two brothers. Did you see its branch? Even though it has a grainy branch, it looks like a horse specially prepared for you to ride.” Sugar orange, one of the classics of Brazilian literature, is considered the masterpiece of José Mauro de Vasconcelos. Defying the limitations of the adult world with her imagination, zezé's story of poverty, pain and hope carries deep traces from the author's childhood. Five-year-old Zezé learns just about everything on his own: not just to play marbles and hang on cars, but to read and sing the tunes of street singers. His closest confidant is a sugar orange sapling he calls minguinho, who listens to what he tells… You can watch the adventures of zezé, the protagonist of the sugar orange, as he grows up, in the author's novels Let the sun wake up and detonate.
