Viva el pueblo brasileño is a novel by the Brazilian author João Ubaldo Ribeiro, published in 2001. The work covers more than three centuries of Brazilian history, from 1647 to 1977, narrating the arrival of Spaniards, Portuguese and Dutch in the 17th century to the eventful 20th century, marked by the politics of force and coups d'état. Ribeiro mercilessly satirizes the speech of the local nobility and their clumsy dependence on European customs and fashions, while describing the unusual ethnic, linguistic and cultural vitality of the less favored classes.
João Ubaldo Ribeiro was a Brazilian writer, journalist, screenwriter and professor. Several of his books and short stories have been turned into movies and TV series in Brazil. Ribeiro was a member of the Brazilian Academy of Letters, being elected in 1994. At the time of his death many considered him to be Brazil's greatest contemporary novelist.
