Travelers'
Tales Brazil -
by
Annette Haddad (editor), Scott Doggett (Editor)
- Price $14.36 - Paperback
Shining
a light on a country where the commingling of cultures has created
a people who are unafraid to embrace life. Just a few of the
many stories and noyable authors readors will find in this book
are"A Place for Living" by Bill McKibben, "Opium
of the People" by Alma Guillermoprieto, "On the Banks
of the Solimoes" by Joe Kane, and many more.
"Brazil
is a land of superlatives. It has the biggest freshwater fish
and the rivers to go with them, the largest jungle and the greatest
number of species. It makes the world's best music and throws the
world's wildest party. This land where primeval
meets modernity teems with life -- and what makes life worth living
-- and nothing is done in moderation. The commingling of cultures
-- indigenous tribes, the Portuguese colonists, the West Africans
-- has created a people who are unafraid to embrace life.
The Brazilians have a word -- saudade -- that means a longing for
what could have been. It is a feeling as universal as the
sun, but in Brazil no one, including the traveler, allows saudade
to interfere with the moment."

Red
Gold: The Conquest of the Brazilian Indians
by
John Hemming follows the colonists and Indians from
1500 to 1760, when the great majority of Indians were either pacified
or eliminated.
The
author,
john.hemming@hemming-group.co.uk , January 22,
1999
Red Gold has been revised and is back in print.
I fully revised and updated Red Gold and its sequel Amazon
Frontier in 1995. Both books are available from Macmillan London,
in their Papermac imprint, cost £12 each. Red Gold covers the history
of the Brazilian Indians from 1500 to 1760; Amazon Frontier from
1760 to 1910; and I'm writing the third volume, to the present day.
