The Lost Samba
About This Novel
Part autobiography, part chronicle of the birth of a new Brazil, The Lost Samba is a riveting first-person account of a dark yet exciting period in the country. This book gets rid of many clichés about Brazil and provides readers with fresh anecdotes, wonders, reflections and facts, which is amazing; at the same time, it also provides a practical reference for those who want to understand this big country. Although "The Lost Samba" takes the form of an autobiography, it contains powerful historical and political insights into the recent history of this "sleeping giant". The author, a descendant of British and Jewish immigrants who was educated in Brazil, has both an outsider and insider background, an adventurous spirit and political acumen. He lives through the intense historical moments that marked the birth of democracy in this country, and his text is ideal for those who want to better understand Brazil.
