Tired of the false gloss and glitter of the Brazil of television-land,
the glorified criminality and gore of the Brazil of Hollywood and the
“politically correct” Brazil of the guidebooks and web, the author set
out to expose the real Brasil. This is a journey to the teaming cities,
tired small towns, beaches, by-ways, bars and nightclubs of Brasil.
The warmth and eternal optimism of the down but not out Brasilians is
there side-by-side with the vice, crime and poverty that pervades
Brasilian society.
Fictional but real, “Welcome to Brasil!” will open eyes.
