Rio de Janeiro: A City on Fire by Ruy Castro
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 2.6MB
Overview: Ruy Castro delves into the past and present of Rio, where even in periods of comparative calm there has always been a palpable excitement in the air – the feeling of a city on fire. In this spellbinding fifth entry in Bloomsbury’s The Writer and the City series, Rio de Janeiro’s vibrant history unfolds. While stiff-collared poets flirted with prim young ladies in coffeehouses during the belle époque, revolts were being plotted that almost destroyed the city. We learn how the iconic wave-patterned mosaics of Copacabana pavements were baptized with blood, and how more than a hundred years before the girl from Ipanema passed by, the girls from Ouvidor Street adopted French chic and never really gave it up.
