Rio Noir
This is no tourist guide, the city revealed in this book is a different Rio.`Rio Noir` will reveal more about this fabled city than news coverage will.The images of Rio de Janeiro are well known: high-rises aligned along white sandy beaches, a blue sea, freshwater lakes and luxurious forests that stretch through winding mountains of stone; Sugar Loaf linked to the ground by cable cars in hypnotic shuttle; hang gliders crossing the sky in flights without destination; the open arms of Christ the Redeemer blessing a happy, cordial, mixed-race people ever ready to dance a samba or offer a welcoming smile to the tourists who move about in the streets admiring beautiful women shimmying nude atop floats in Carnival parades… Opa! Even though famous landscapes are present in the pages of `Rio Noir`, what is exposed here is a world of shadows, blood, intrigue, violence, hideouts and mystery (and also of humour). Featuring brand-new stories by: Tony Bellotto, Luiz Alfredo Garcia-Roza, MV Bill, Luiz Eduardo Soares, Guilherme Fiuza, Arthur Dapieve, Victoria Saramago, Arnaldo Bloch, Adriana Lisboa, Alexandre Fraga, Marcelo Ferroni, Flรกvio Carneiro, Raphael Montes and Luis Fernando Verissimo. All stories translated from Portuguese by Clifford Landers (Coelho`s The Alchemist, etc.).
