there is something about brazilian books that just compels international audience to read the books - this may be different from their samba dance, their football or even their beats, their fiction work is just marvelous.

despite most novels are originally written in portuguese, they are translated to english as well as other languages such as chinese and spanish and well marketed on the international market.

to ensure that the writing spirit does not fade, there has sprung up a new generation of brazilian novelists and they are just as super class as their mentors. a good example of such novelists is vanessa barbara and cristhiano aguiar.
