Rio de Janeiro

Více o knize

A book as rich and sprawling as the seductive metropolis it evokes, Rio de Janeiro builds a kaleidoscopic portrait of this city of extremes, and its history of conflict and corruption. Luiz Eduardo Soares tells the story of Rio through the everyday lives of its gangsters and police, activists, politicians, and struggling migrant workers, each with their own version of the city. Taking us on a journey into Rio's intricate world of favelas, beaches, and corridors of power, Soares reveals one of the most extraordinary cities in the world in all its seething, agonistic beauty.
