Sinopse

In 1993, Fernando Henrique Cardoso, then Finance Minister, inherited a country in tatters. Inflation was reaching an incredible 3,000%, a president had recently been impeached for corruption, and rumors of another military coup were beginning to circulate. Many considered Brazil ungovernable. But in a tumultuous decade as Finance Minister and then President, Cardoso proved them wrong. He assumed the presidency of a young democracy with a shaky economy and transformed Brazil into a mature and prosperous nation, respected worldwide. These memoirs tell the story of his remarkable leadership as president, his fascinating personal life, his extraordinary encounters with other historical figures, and, perhaps most movingly, his lifelong love for Brazil. * Initially published in the United States, it went through several editions and received positive critical acclaim. President Cardoso wrote a special foreword for the Brazilian edition. Foreword by President Bill Clinton. “A compelling and accessible account of Brazil’s recent history that reads like a thriller.” Financial Times “A stimulating and enjoyable read.” The Economist “Brilliant.” Newsweek International “A minor classic.” Exame
