[EAN: 9780434620135], D'occasion, très bon état, [SC: 18.47], [PU: Heinemann, London], BRAZIL; AMAZON; SOUTH AMERICA;, 266 pp. Trade paperback format. Light edge and corner wear with a faintly creased spine; no interior markings. In the 1940s, Orson Welles set out to make a film about Brazil entitled It's All True. The footage was lost. Such accidents litter the progress of this nation built of dreams and misadventures. In a contemporary journey through the enigmatic giant of Latin America, the author describes an extraordinary country struggling to resolve the tensions between a colonial past and democratic present, between Catholic saints and African spirits, between honest people and criminals, between the very rich and very poor, between teeming cities and virgin rain forest. He is swept by carnival fervour along streets where seven million urchins sleep at the feet of luxury apartment blocks, where television is kind and a kitsch, hot-coloured sensuality is its voodoo queen. It's All True is an account of a nation on the brink. It's a journey to the last frontier of the New World, people with criminals, shamans, politicians, priests and ecologists, a paradise found and lost. Size: 8vo, Books<
