Sinopse

By telling the saga of the indigenous warrior and chief Cunhambebe, My Dear Cannibal provides a historical account of what life was like for the first inhabitants of Brazil, a few decades after its discovery.

Torres delves into the life of Indigenous leader Cunhambebe to paint a picture of the first decades of Brazilian history. Considered the bravest of the natives who fought against slavery or death by the colonizers, Cunhambebe, who presumably died between 1554 and 1560, was the most feared and revered Indigenous warrior, and his life has become shrouded in myth.

My Dear Cannibal follows the creation, peak, and massacre of the Tamoio Confederation, the social organization of the tribes, their way of life, their connection with French pirates, Anchieta's ambiguous role, the lies and deceit of the conquistadors, the bloody founding of the city of Rio de Janeiro, among many other topics that are not found in school textbooks.

"My Dear Cannibal balances the novelist's technique with data gathered from piles of documents and books." - Mànya Millen, O Globo

"Masterfully recreates episodes that occurred shortly after the discovery of Brazil. Impressive." - Márcio Souza, Veja

"For anyone who wants to reflect on the problematic identity of the Brazilian people, Meu Querido Canibal becomes, along with other already established works, such as those of Euclides da Cunha, Mário de Andrade, Sérgio Buarque de Holanda and Gilberto Freyre, an obligatory reference. Which is no small thing." - Paulo Becker, vóx XXI , Porto Alegre
