Back to Brazil

After returning home from a 10 day missions trip to Brazil I found myself scouring the book shelves for books on Brazilian culture and history. The stories captured in Travelers' Tales : Brazil, truly brought me right back to Brazil. Each tale awoke a memory, a scent, a feeling that could only be brought on by "saudade". I look forward to my next trip to this rich country armed with a book full of ideas for my next adventure.

So much more fun and interesting than a typical travel guide

I so enjoyed reading about the people and places of Brazil in this book. I am hooked on "Travelers' Tales" books now. I am excited to have a deeper knowledge now of the heart of this place in preparation for my trip there. The short story format is ideal for me and the variety of entries paints a colorful picture. Anyone traveling to Brazil should pick this up for before and after the trip.

Great book about Brazil

This was the second book that I have read in The Travellers Tales series. I enjoyed the Mexican book, but the Brazilian book was unbelievable. I read the book over a summer and it was like being on a two month trip throughout the country. The nice feature about this series is the short stories each of which take you to a different place or situation. Then if you want to continue reading on that topic, you can use the bibliography, and get the book from where the story was excerpted. I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed reading the Brazilian book. The only problem with the book was having to finish reading it because I didn't want to put it down. Looking forward to travelling to the country for business or pleasure in the near future. Hot, hot, hot...

I loved it and think Christopher is a cheesehead

I thought that the book was a balanced collection of wonderful and telling tales of life in Brazil; well rounded and very well put together. I strongly recommend it.
