The award-winning historian details the transformations that defined the country we live in today. in the pages of the book (re)we visited a Brazil that saw its cities verticalize and followed on an odyssey in the domestic space.

Mary constructs a flavorful narrative interspersed with testimonies from those who lived in that time - anonymous and famous, but always under a very personal gaze -, recording the changes in the streets, living rooms, gardens, refrigerators, bookshelves, wardrobes, and bedsheets. at the end of the book and the admirable Stories of the Brazilian people, we have the feeling that we entered the text and participated in it; of what is there, in fact, our stories, the stories of that Brazil so rich and so different.
