A Very Brazilian Christmas: The Greatest Brazilian Holiday Stories of All Time

By Mário de Andrade

A literary celebration of Christmas south of the equator where the holiday falls during the Brazilian summer and festivities are punctuated by the rhythms of surf and samba. Including works by classic and contemporary authors, this bountiful, surprising anthology features a potent mix of familial feasts, poetry, the peal of church bells, Midnight Masses, and U.S. expatriates flirting at parties in Rio de Janeiro. With writings by Machado de Assis, M rio de Andrade, Clarice Lispector, Paulo Coelho, Graciliano Ramos, Lygia Fagundes Telles, Moacyr Scliar, Rubem Braga, Victor Heringer, Bruna Dantas Lobato, and more.
