About this product
Product Information
This is an account, introduced by Paul Theroux, of the author's journey as a 63-year-old gringo through Brazil. During the course of this journey he reflects on his escape in middle age from his wealthy pacific Northwest family to South America, where he became a Peace Crops worker in Ecuador. He then tells of how he brought a farm which he worked in partnership with a local friend. 12 years later his friend kicked him off the farm and Thomsen, stunned by the rejection embarked on a trip across Brazil. In candid prose, he describes Rio, Bahia, and the Amazon River, lined with one-room shacks and millionaires' rancheros. Gradually through his relationship with this extraordinary continent and with the people he meets along the way, he begins to make sense of his life.
