A Death in Brazil: A Book of Omissions Full Description

In his deliciously sensuous and fascinating, Peter Robb renders in vivid detail the intoxicating pleasures of Brazil's food, music, literature, and landscape as he travels not only cross country but also back in time-from the days of slavery to modern day political intrigue and murder. Spellbinding and revelatory, Peter Robb paints a multi-layered portrait of Brazil as a country of intoxicating and passionate extremes. Amber lit anecdotes of being held up at knife-point in Rio rest side-by-side with grim investigations into the country's ancient slave-owning past. The result is an intoxicating cocktail of a book-one that is equal parts danger and sex, mixed together with a splash of erudition. --John Freeman, Newsday A Death in Brazil is not strictly about travel. It deals with Brazil's history, landscapes, society, culture, food, and the baroque flamboyance of its political life. Robb writes about his themes not as a scholar or analyst but as if he were trekking through them hungrily, strenuously, and sometimes at risk....Fascinating. --Richard Eder, The New York Times Provocative...a powerful piece of reporting that blurs the boundaries between true crime, travel writing, and history. -- Time Out (New York) A seductive synthesis of history, gastronomy, literature, pop culture, and current events. -- The New Yorker PETER ROBB has divided his time among Brazil, southern Italy, and Australia for the last quarter century. He is the author of Midnight in Sicily, a Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year; and M: The Man Who Became Caravaggio (Picador), which was a New York Times Notable Book of 2000.
