“Through the
lives of two powerful families, Brazil depicts five turbulent centuries
in the history of a remarkable land. From colony to kingdom, from empire to
nation, Brazil is filled with memorable people living through one of the
great adventures in human history.”
A
masterpiece! Brazil has the feel of an enchanted virgin forest, a
totally new and original world for the reader-explorer to discover. L' Express, Paris
Pulsing
with vigor, this is a vast novel to tell the story of a vast country. Uys recreates
history almost entirely "at ground level," through the eyes and
actions of an awesome cast of characters. Publishers Weekly
Uys
has accomplished what no Brazilian author from José de Alencar to Jorge Amado
was able to do. He is the first outsider with the total honesty and sympathy to
write our national epic in all its decisive episodes. Descriptions like those
of the war with Paraguay are unsurpassed in our literature and evoke the great
passages of War and Peace. Wilson Martins, Jornal
do Brasil
