Sinopse

New book by the author of Losses & Gains Brazil is in crisis. Every day the news brings a new scandal in politics, the economy, education, security, and healthcare. And the Brazilian people hope for change. Today more than ever. We need to believe in a better tomorrow. This is the motto of *Landscape Brazil*, a literary-political essay in which Lya Luft explores the foundations of democracy to express her perplexity regarding the country's panorama. A perceptive columnist, Lya describes the book as an unpretentious commentary by a Brazilian who is no expert on the subject, but weaves a perspective on what is happening to us. Divided into four parts—Love and Pain, The Foundations, The Landscape, and Without Illusions—*Landscape Brazil* is composed of a series of short reflections interspersed with the optimistic desire for a solution. Accustomed to playing with words and characters, to probing the unfathomable, Lya spared no expense, nor was she afraid to reveal her opinion. Written in simple, colloquial language, the book is a direct conversation with the reader, presenting the perspective of someone lost in this confusing and unstable landscape, full of contradictions and with an uncertain destiny. Reading it is like finding a certain poetry in the hope of a better country.
