Hippocrene & Osmar De Almedia-Santos’ superb Brazilian Portuguese bilingual dictionary & travel-oriented phrasebook focuses ...

Experienced author & journalist Augustus Young used his travel diaries to produce a semi-fictional story about the people & culture of Brazil in Brazilian Tequila. Gus, a middle-aged Irishman, finds that his life in London has gone cold. An epidemiologist without an epidemic, a poet who cannot write poems, he decides to transmigrate to a warmer climate, namely Brazil, where he hopes to winter himself back to spring. He flies around Brazil, learning things that challenge his preconceptions. Pandemic corruption seeps into everything & nobody seems bothered, including his friend, Pedrinho. Even the first democratic elections for decades are being conspicuously rigged. Throughout his travels, Gus meets the real victims, particularly the poor & the young, & their cheerful passivity take him aback. However, his European side begins to revolt against what he sees as a `moral no-man`s-l&.` Torn between his love of being there & his concept of justice, his engagement becomes disturbingly personal. When Gus travels with Pedrinho to his hometown (which is suffering a ten-year drought), it leads to a confrontation & a moral twist that throws his cherished certitudes into confusion. His affections threaten to take over from his principles. How will Gus cope? Will he see Brazil in the same eyes ever again? Inspired by Theodore Roosevelt`s In the Brazilian Wilderness, Brazilian Tequila will appeal to those who enjoy travel stories & are interested in Brazil. ...

Longlisted for the Financial Times Business Book of the Year Award Wealth & power on the trail of the super-rich In 2012, Brazilian tycoon Eike Batista was the eighth richest man in the world, his $30bn fortune built on Brazil`s incredible natural resources. By the middle of 2013 he had lost it all, engulfed in scandal. Brazillionaires is a fast-paced account of Batista`s rise & fall: a story of helicopter flights, beach-front penthouses & high-speed car crashes. Along the way, it tells the parallel story of Brazil itself, a country caught in the cycle of boom & bust, renewed hope & dashed promise; a country where the hyper-rich are at the heart of the economy
- & where their wealth can buy immense political power. Stefan Zweig said in 1941 that Brazil was the country of the future; Brazilians joke that it always will be. Today, rampant corruption & endemic inequality threaten to derail the new Brazilian Dream. The brazillionaires are the key to understanding that dream; through them Brazillionaires tells the story of their country`s past, present & future.

Brutalized by colonialism, plundered by politicians & destroyed in terrifying civil wars: Congo Brazzaville is Africa at its worst.

Brazzaville Charms is a unique portrait of a country long ignored by the rest of the world. This first-person account, based on original research & interviews, tells the story of militiamen who are led by a dreadlocked reincarnation of Christ, of exorcisms & sorcery, of pygmies who are owned by their masters, of timber companies exploiting the rain forest, & of the wars that have been caused by oil. ...
