The Magic of Brazil on Kindle
The Illustrated Guide to the best-selling Kindle edition of the epic of Brazil lets the reader share the magic that goes into the making of a monumental novel
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) July 29, 2010 --
Errol Lincoln Uys’s epic novel of Brazil, Number 1 Bestseller on Kindle “Brazil” books, comes with a free online guide of 300 images and illustrations, an indispensable companion on a fictional journey through Brazilian history.
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.
The Cavalcantis are among the original settlers and establish the classic Brazilian plantation -- vast, powerful, built with slave labor. The da Silvas represent the second element in both contemporary and historical Brazil: pathfinders and prospectors. For generations, these adventurers have set their eyes on El Dorado, which they ultimately find in a coffee fortune at Sao Paulo.
Brazil is an intensely human story, brutal and violent, tender and passionate. Perilous explorations through the Brazilian wilderness . . . the perpetual clash of pioneer and native, visionary and fortune hunter, master and slave, zealot and exploiter . . . the thunder of war on land and sea as European powers and South American nations pursue their territorial conquests... the triumphs and tragedies of a people who built a nation covering half the South American continent, all are here in one spell-binding saga.
Says Wilson Martins, one of Brazil’s most eminent literary critics: “Errol Lincoln Uys (pronounced “Ace”) is the first to write our national epic in all its decisive episodes – the first outsider to see Brazil with total honesty and sympathy. Descriptions like those of the war with Paraguay are unsurpassed in our literature and evoke the grand passages of War and Peace”
The Kindle Illustrated Guide to Brazil is also linked to an archive of working notes, plus a journal kept on Uys’s four-month 20,000-kilometer trek across Brazil. What better way for the reader-explorer of an epic as vast as Brazil to discover a totally new and original world beyond stereotypes of samba and Carnival!
