书籍简介

《头顶上的太阳》收集了13个故事，背景是里约的贫民窟，围绕着年轻男孩和男人的生活，尽管他们不得不处理他们这个年龄段所固有的痛苦和困难，但也与在 "破碎之城 "不太受欢迎的一面成长的暴力作斗争。

一个男孩偷了他保安父亲的枪给他的朋友看，另一个男孩在处理尸体时遇到麻烦，还有一个男孩重新染上了涂鸦的老毛病，造成了悲惨的后果。贫困给这些故事增添了色彩，但这些故事也描绘了伴随着希望和欲望的成长的痛苦。

Geovani Martins创作了一部关于男子气概、腐败、内疚、贫穷和复原力的迷人处女作。这本书完全是我们这个时代的产物，但又是深刻永恒的，它使这个城市的人们变得生动和人性化，而这个城市的人性往往被它自己的声誉所掩盖。

The Sun on My Head is a collection of thirteen stories set in Rio's largest favela, gravitating around the lives of young boys and men who, in spite of having to deal with the anguish and difficulties inherent to their age, also struggle with the violence involved in growing up on the less favoured side of the 'Broken City'.

They notice the smell oflingering on the clothes of passersby in the streets. A boy steals his security-guard father's gun to show it to his friends, another runs into trouble disposing of a body, and another relapses into an old graffiti habit, with tragic consequences . Drugs and poverty colour them, but these stories also depict the pain of growing up with attendant hopes and desires.

Geovani Martins has produced a spellbinding debut about masculinity, corruption, guilt, poverty and resilience. Completely of our time and yet profoundly timeless, it's a book that animates and humanises the people of a city whose humanity is often obscured by its own reputation.
