Introduction: IN THE old days the novelist, when placing a book on the market, frankly informed his prospective readers in a preface for which reasons, from what point of view, and with what intentions he had written it It was a good idea. It created by its informality and directness a basic understanding between the author and his public. And so I also want to state as honestly as possible what persuaded me to choose a theme which may seem far removed from the subjects about which I am accustomed to write. In 1936, when I was invited to go to the Argentine for the P. E. N. Club Congress in Buenos Aires, I received an in vitation at the same time to visit Brazil. I did not expect very much.

Zweig shines a light on a developing Brazil in the 1940s, moving to Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Minas Gerais, Bahia, and the northeast of the country. There he sees elegance and innocence.He takes you on a journey with an exceptional narrative rhythm: a genuine attempt to comprehend this "exotic" land.
The Austrian poet, playwright, novelist, biographer, and essayist, Stefan Zweig (1881-1942), committed suicide partly in despair over the rise of the Third Reich; but in the late 1930s, Zweig traveled to Brazil and wrote about its cities, history, economy, and culture.
Brazil is the world's sixth-largest economy, and for the first three-quarters of the twentieth century was one of the fastest-growing countries in the world. While the country underwent two decades of unrelenting decline from 1975 to 1994, the economy has rebounded dramatically. How did this nation become an emerging power? Brazil in Transition looks at the factors behind why this particular country has successfully progressed up the economic development ladder. The authors examine the roles of beliefs, leadership, and institutions in the elusive, critical transition to sustainable development. Analyzing the last fifty years of Brazil's history, the authors explain how the nation's beliefs, centered on social inclusion yet bound by orthodox economic policies, led to institutions that altered economic, political, and social outcomes. Brazil's growth and inflation became less variable, the rule of law strengthened, politics became more open and competitive, and poverty and inequality declined. While these changes have led to a remarkable economic transformation, there have also been economic distortions and inefficiencies that the authors argue are part of the development process. Brazil in Transition demonstrates how a dynamic nation seized windows of opportunity to become a more equal, prosperous, and rules-based society.
The best one-volume introduction to the history, politics and culture of Brazil.
