Krátky popis
'Engrossing ... eye-opening ... an enormously refreshing treat'
Dominic Sandbrook, Sunday TimesSince Europeans first reached Brazil
in 1500 it has been an unfailing source of extraordinary
fascination.More than any other part of the 'New World' it
displayed both the greatest beauty and grandeur and witnessed
scenes of the most terrible European ferocity. Its native people
both revolutionized Europe's ideas of itself and were then subject
to extermination. For white settlers Brazil's opportunities seemed
endless, for imported black slaves it was a hell on earth.Brazil: A
Biography, written by two of Brazil's leading historians and a
bestseller in Brazil itself, is a remarkable attempt to convey the
overwhelming diversity and challenges of this huge country - larger
than the contiguous USA and still in some regions not fully mapped
- from its origins to the twenty-first century. The book's major
themes are the near-continuous battles to create both political
institutions and social frameworks that would allow stable growth,
legal norms and protection for all its citizens. Brazil's failure
to achieve these except in the very short term has been tragic, but
even in the 21st century it remains one of the world's great
experiments - creative, harsh, unique and as compelling a story for
its inhabitants as for outsiders.
