He is a historical novelist who had his moment of glory back in the nineties and now, with a bank account in the red, tries vainly to write the book his publishers expect. While enjoying his peripatetic walks on the elegant streets of his neighborhood, Leblon, or visiting Viridal, a neighboring \u003ci\u003efavela\u003c\/i\u003e, we journey through Rio de Janeiro, a city that bends and bleeds, in an increasingly apparent way, under the lash of social and economic injustice. A black musician shot dead by police, a decree that facilitates the use of firearms, a violently repressed protest rally, or lavish parties in the new political circle are the kind of stories that flood the newspapers. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In the form of a puzzle with multiple voices and perspectives, Buarque gives us his most poignant novel yet and shows us, with his usual ironic look, the tragicomic dalliances of a writer in crisis and the fragmented memory of the maddened Brazil under Bolsonaro.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PRH Grupo Editorial","offers":[{"title":"US - Paperback","offer_id":49740834308323,"sku":"DTRPRUS-9788439737957","price":124.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/aa523c3d9569-9788439737957.jpg?v=1789578354","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/products\/esa-gente-those-people","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
