Hardbound. Condition: Very Good. 1st U.S. Edition, 1st Printing. Description: Part of the publisher's series, The Writer and the City. Other books in the series include 30 Days in Sydney: A Wildly Distorted Account by Peter Carey and Florence, A Delicate Case by David Leavitt. ''In this vibrant portrait, Ruy Castro deles into the past and present of Rio, where even in periods of comparative calm there has always been a palpable excitement in the air. While poets flirted with prim young ladies in coffeehouses during the belle époque, revolts were being plotted that almost destroyed the city. We learn how the iconic wave-patterned mosaics of Copacabana pavements were baptized with blood, and how more than a hundred years before the girl from Ipanema passed by, the girls fro Ouvidor Street adopted French chic, and never really gave it up. With his own Carioca good humor and great storytelling gifts, Ruy Castro brings the reader close to the flames.'' BINDING/CONDITION: pictorial boards; a Very Good book, with a Very Good dust jacket; publisher's price on the jacket flap is intact. glossary. Map endpapers. small 8vo (about 7.5 inches tall). 244 pages. Seller Inventory # 070535
