000438741 520__ $$aAn alluring land famous for samba, soccer, supermodels, and stunning tropical beaches, Brazil was described as "paradise on earth" by its first Portuguese explorers. Its annual Carnival is known the world over for its Dionysian revelry, and its Amazon rainforest is considered one of the planet's most precious resources. Yet two decades ago Brazil had a crippling debt and was emerging from a military dictatorship. Today Brazil is not only the world's eighth largest economy with a vibrant democracy, and may soon be a major energy exporter. Here, New York Times Rio bureau chief Larry Rohter gives us the definitive look at the country's amazing rebirth, through interviews with every important political, business, cultural, and religious leader on the scene, delivering a sharp and fresh account of the country's rapid and radical changes.--From publisher description.

His grasp and deep knowledge of my country gives you a sense of its dynamic and vibrant culture as well as the rapid ascent of its economy and its transformation from dictatorship to democracy. Anyone wanting to understand Brazil's place in the world today must first read this book."---Paulo Coelho, Author of the Alchemist" ""Larry Rohter has written with great insight on Brazil and South America for many years for The New York Times, and has now produced a splendid and timely, indeed unrivaled, book on Brazil's meteoric economic success. It is a tour de force."---Jagdish Bhagwati, Author of in Defense of Globalization" ""Essential reading both for those interested in Brazil and Latin America and those seeking to understand the fast-changing international landscape in which Brazil is now an important new player.

A must-read."---Anil K. Gupta, Coauthor of Getting China and India Right" ""A timely, readable study of Brazil's history and current prospects...
