Brazil. Seductive, sensual, beautiful yet appalling, we think we know Brazil: we don't. One of the world's greatest and strangest countries. A land of staggering wealth and inequality where 2% of the population own 80% of the land. The rich of Sao Paulo commute to their gilded enclaves by private helicopter while the poor trek endlessly through some of the planet's most spectacular traffic jams. Welcome to the strange New World of BRAZYL, a novel of this colossal, thrilling nation, past, present ...and future. Set in 1732, the present day and 2032, these are three separate but intertwining stories of love, genocide, football, faith and hallucination, crime and quantum theory. Three Brazils, all linked to a split-second on the afternoon of July 16th, 1950.
