In 1555, a French expedition travels to Brazil to rival the Portuguese. Just and Colombe, two young interpreters, accompany Admiral Nicolás de Villegagnon to Guanabara Bay. The colony clashes with indigenous people, bandits, and the conflict between Catholics and Protestants; both young people embody the clash of two cultures.
The novel won the 2001 Prix Goncourt; its original title is Rouge Brésil and the Spanish translation is by Laura Paredes.
For readers of historical and adventure fiction who want to delve into colonial America and the encounter between cultures.
Jean-Christophe Rufin is a French doctor, diplomat, historian and novelist. He is the president of Action Against Hunger, one of the earliest members of Médecins Sans Frontières, and a member of the Académie française.
