Synopsis
They meet by chance on Copacabana Beach: Tristao Raposo, a poor black teen from the Rio slums, surviving day to day on street smarts and the hustle, and Isabel Leme, an upper-class white girl, treated like a pampered slave by her absent though very powerful father. Convinced that fate brought them together, betrayed by families who threaten to tear them apart, Tristao and Isabel flee to the farthest reaches of Brazil's wild west -- unaware of the astonishing destiny that awaits them . . . Spanning twenty-two years, from the mid-sixties to the late eighties, BRAZIL surprises and embraces the reader with its celebration of passion, loyalty, and New World innocence. "A tour de force . . . Spectacular." -- Time "Updike's novel, as tender as it is erotic, becomes a magnificently wrought love story . . . . Beautifully written." -- Detroit Free Press, A page-turning novel about a Black teen from the Rio slums and an upper-class white girl who are brought together by fate and betrayed by families who threaten to tear them apart--from one of the most gifted American writers of the twentieth century and the author of the acclaimed Rabbit series.

- i***e (5)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseBeautiful piece, decent price, and so so well packaged! I left a note to pack the wine glass really carefully bc our mail sometimes gets tossed around a bit neglectfully, and the seller did a great job. Perfect condition 💯 shipping was a bit expensive but I know it’s a small package (no discount for volume) and it was by no means prohibitiveVintage French Luminarc Green Stem Wine Glass (#235447627454)
