     It's not a "read" per se, but the lessons taught from it are no less
     powerful: the anime series Nobunaga the Fool. There was a manga made
     from it as well, if you really prefer paper (though it might differ
     from
     the anime series).

   ​There's some time, I'm trying to remember the name of a pretty
   disturbing manga  (Japanese comics)  series to recommend it to Ju@n.

   ​ He always ​gave me great suggestions of reading, and I bet he will
   like this one, even being a heavy political drama.
   I read only the beggining of this novel when visited my parents and I
   always forget to ask its name.  I stopped my reading because I know the
   end will be very tragic.  Dreamers and their dreams are usually
   destroyed in the end.
   Two little boys completely lost, poor, with no family, really
   disappointed with all the corruption, with all the injustices, decide
   to sacrifice their personal lives to change the world.  They make a
   deal, one of them would be a politician to have strenght enough to
   directly affect the laws and the government, and the other would always
   be on the backstage, giving support to their childhood dreams, but also
   would rule in another aspect of the corrupt society.  He becomes a
   criminal, a great and cruel gangster.  The beggining of this sad and
   bitter story shows their dawn and how corruption exists in all the
   places.  They grown up together like two brothers, and try to save the
   world of the corruption because both knowed what was living on the
   streets, starving, suffering in a place with no compassion or Justice
   even for the children...  but you can see the corruption slowly
   destroying their dreams...  Slowly destroying both...  :(
