Rio
Rio de Janeiro’s is a lush, complex history that spans five centuries, and Marvelous City is the first full length retelling of that history written in English. From the beach life of the Ipanema and Copacabana to the struggles of the Rio’s infamous favelas, this is a story of contrast and contradiction. We are offered a glimpse into Rio’s high society and rich culture and are shown the endemic violence, corruption, and social disparity with which it struggles to this day. With its populist politics and its unique blend of European, African and Amerindian influences, Rio de Janeiro has grown, over the centuries, into a place all its own, one that is greater than the sum of its parts, distinctively Brazilian, and whose symbol is the Rio Carnaval, the greatest show on earth. The beating cultural heart of Brazil, Rio de Janeiro is poised to host the 2016 Olympic Games. Author Orde Morton invites you to look beyond the postcard perfection of its natural beauty and discover this one of a kind city in all its many-sided wonder.

He places the grim history of the trade itself within the context of the rise of merchant capitalism in the eighteenth century. Throughout, Miller illuminates the experiences of the slaves themselves, reconstructing what can be known of their sufferings at the hands of their buyers and sellers.

Bamboo Church
Two Wings: She would drift into the kitchen/trailing fragments of a hymn that spoke of God,/a river, the pair of golden wings/that would be hers on Judgement Day/and were you to look at her then/you might well decide your best bet/for a meal would be to eat out: //she was blind and appeared a little lost/in her tile and linoleum kingdom./But she vaguely addressed the garlic,/the onion, the tomato and between her hands/rubbed a sprig of rosemary over olive oil./A fragrance then arose and you decided you had best sit down. And you did.//Did you fall asleep? Did you dream?/You awoke to the smart snap of sails:/the billowing of a tablecloth./She returned and a generous bowl/was placed in front o...
