2012. Good condition. Yellowing textblock edges. Infrequent page staining. 'Since Samba Is Samba' is a novel whose action takes place in Rio de Janeiro at the beginning of the 20th century. The novelistic plot revolves around a love triangle: the young prostitute Valdirene, the irresistible beauty of Largo do Estacio, and two men - her pimp, Brancura, pimp, samba and trickster, samba composer and real character, and the Portuguese Sodre, invention of the author. The account of this love story, full of humor and vigorous sensuality, constitutes the skeleton of the novel, ending in an unexpected and surprising way. As a background, the Rio de Janeiro of the popular neighborhoods, with its scoundrels in white suits and red ties, samba dancers, dockers and sailors, prostitutes and mothers of saints, Umbanda and Candomble terreiros, the first samba school in Brazil, and the visits made to this very Brazilian world by men of the modernist movement such as Mario de Andrade and Manuel Bandeira, popular singers such as Francisco Alves and Carmen Miranda. Since Jorge Amado, Brazil has not given us a novel as Brazilian as this one by Paulo Lins, the celebrated author of City of God.
