Aussie career ex-pat Peter Robb weaves history, politics, travel, and gastronomy into an intriguing, seamless tapestry of Brazil. A modern-day Alexis de Tocqueville of Brazil, he seems to explain things about this foreign land that even the locals don't fully understand... or at least that is the feeling you get from this controlled descent into her rich and sordid past.
