The Slum - Library of Latin America

Published in 1890, The Slum is a tale of passion and greed with two intersecting story lines: a penny-pinching immigrant landlord who becomes a rich capitalist and discards his black lover for a wealthy white woman; and the innocent love affair between the immigrant and a mulata who live in a tenement owned by this landlord.
