Brazil A Land of the Future

Zweig found a romantic and pathos filled dream landscape in Brazil. This book collects his impression of Brazil from 1936 and describes a country in stark contrast to the war filled and fascistic ruled Europe. In elegant prose, Zweig paints a now utopian looking picture of a mystical world on the other side of the ocean. For Zweig, Brazil was not constricted by past traditions and had all the potential of the future in its hands.
