Book Club Edition

Brazil is the first work of fiction to depict five centuries of a great nation's extraordinary history, its evolution from colony to kingdom, from empire to modern republic.  With a stunning cast or real and fictional characters, this unforgettable epic unfolds in South America, Africa and Europe, and is destined to stand beside the giant best-sellers of James Clavell and James Michener.

Two families dominate this extraordinary book.  The Cavalcantis are among the original settlers and establish the classic Brazilian plantation -- vast, powerful, built with slave labor.  The da Silvas represent the second element in both contemporary and historic Brazil:  pathfinders and prospectors.  For generations, these adventurers have their eyes set on El Dorado, which they ultimately find -- in a coffee fortune at Sao Paulo.

Brazil is also an intensely human story -- brutal and violent, tender and passionate.  Perilous explorations through the Brazilian wilderness . . . the perpetual lash of pioneer and savage, visionary and fortune hunter, master and slave, zealot and exploiter . . . the thunder of war on land and sea as European powers and South American nations pursue their territorial conquests . . . the triumph and tragedies of a people who built a nation covering half the South American continent . . . all are here in one spellbinding saga.
