Prateleira Eunice Livro 91
Escrito no período em que Pepetela participou da guerra pela libertação de seu país, Mayombe é uma narrativa que mergulha fundo na organização dos combatentes do Movimento Popular de Libertação de Angola (MPLA), trazendo à tona seus questionamentos, contradições, medos e convicções. Os bravos guerrilheiros que lutam no interior da densa floresta tropical confrontam-se não somente com as tropas portuguesas, mas também com as diferenças culturais e sociais que buscam superar em direção a uma Angola unificada e livre.
