Sinopse

Book recommended by the Rio450 Committee Passionate about Rio de Janeiro, Bahian Antônio Torres has already transformed the city into a character—more than a setting—in some of his major novels, such as A Taxi to Vienna of Austria, My Dear Cannibal, and The Noble Kidnapper. On his walks through downtown Rio, wandering through alleys, bars, and historic sites, he encountered entire chapters of Brazilian history everywhere. And from these wanderings emerged The Center of Our Inattentions, a writer's gaze enchanted by what the crowds that pass through the neighborhood daily, amid the hustle and bustle of everyday life, fail to see: the poetry and beauty that spread throughout the heart of the city of São Sebastião do Rio de Janeiro. • With support from the City of Rio, Record will republish two of Torres's books set in Rio—My Dear Cannibal and The Noble Kidnapper—in celebration of Rio de Janeiro's 450th anniversary. • Originally published in 1996, as part of the Cantos do Rio collection, O centro das nossa desatenções is re-released by Editora Record, in a new project full of illustrations, on the occasion of the 450th anniversary of the city of Rio de Janeiro, which found in this Bahian from Junco one of its great chroniclers.
