September 1969 - 'O pequeno burguês' - Martinho da Vila

Martinho da Vila played on words when he wrote 'O pequeno burguês' (The petty bourgeois). He told the story of a working-class man who works hard during the day and goes to night school. He finally finishes his education getting a certificate from some educational institution but still considers himself just a 'coitado' (poor fellow). 

Petite bourgeoisie (French pronunciation), also petty bourgeoisie (literally small bourgeoisie), is a French term (sometimes derogatory) referring to a social class comprising semi-autonomous peasantry and small-scale merchants whose politico-economic ideological stance in times of socio-economic stability is determined by reflectiion that of a haute (high) bourgeoisie, with which the petite bourgeoisie seeks to identify itself, and whose bourgeois morality it strives to imitate.
