O regresso do morto: the return to misfortune by Suleiman Cassamo

Abstract

The book of tales O regresso do morto [The return of the dead] (1997) by the Mozambican writer Suleiman Cassamo is a work that describes the degradation of the human being, marking a clear border between reason and irrationality. This work in which the author draws a melancholic scenario falls within the scope of texts of sociocultural affirmation. Through this work, whose texts were anthologized in compulsory reading textbooks in Mozambique, we immerse ourselves in the complex and diverse Mozambican sociocultural reality.
