Céad grianghraf. Céad aiste ghearr. Cur síos i bhfís agus i bhfocail ar thír aduain, anaithnid… atá i lár an aonaigh. Tá aird an tsaoil mhóir ar an mBrasaíl agus beidh go ceann roinnt mhaith blianta: 2014 – Corn an Domhain sa Sacar i dtír na Brasaíle, 2016 – Na Cluichí Oilimpeacha i gcathair Rio de Janeiro. Go heacnamaíoch agus go polaitiúil, tá ról níos tábhachtaí ná riamh ag fathach Mheiriceá Theas ar an stáitse idirnáisiúnta. Seo cuireadh duit aithne a chur ar an mBrasaíl – aithne cheart, aithne a sheachnaíonn an cliché. Sa leabhar seo, tugann Alex Hijmans, atá ina chomhfhreagraí idirnáisiúnta sa tír ó 2007, léaspairtí ar an mBrasaíl nach bhfeictear sna cártaí poist. Go deimhin, léirítear mórchuid na gcúiseanna atá leis an achrann sóisialta a thosaigh sa tír sin le déanaí sa saothar seo. Tá féilire 2014 ildaite bunaithe ar ghrianghraif ón leabhar in aisce leis.
One hundred photographs. One hundred short essays. A faraway country in words and pictures, unknown … but in the right at the heart of the world market. All eyes are on Brazil at the moment and will be for the near future: 2014 – the World Cup in Brazil, 2016 – the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Economically and politically Brazil is now more important than ever before on the international stage as the giant of South America. Here’s your invitation to get to know Brazil – to really get to know it, to avoid the clichés. In this book Alex Hijmans, a foreign correspondent in the country since 2007, shows you insights into Brazil that aren’t found on the postcards. Indeed, the book covers many of the reasons for the recent social unrest in that country. A full-colour 2014 calendar based on photographs from the book is free with it.
