Krátky popis
Since 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. 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 from its origins to the 21st century - itself larger
than the contiguous USA and still in some regions not fully
mapped.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 now it remains one of the
world's great experiments - creative, harsh, unique and as
compelling a story for its inhabitants as for outsiders.
