THE FIRST AND LONG-AWAITED INSIDER BIOGRAPHY OF LUIZ INÁCIO LULA DA SILVA
The first – and long-awaited – major biography of Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva
Lula is among the greatest political figures in Brazilian history. The only president in the country with a working-class background, combined with a party that was profoundly original in its roots, he exercised charismatic power and influence in a more lasting way than any other public figure in the republican period.
Since 2011, Fernando Morais, one of Brazil''s leading writers, has gained direct, frank and frequent access to Lula. To these dozens of hours of testimonies, he has added a reporter''s flair and captivating prose to compose a biography that paints a picture in all its grandeur and complexity.
In a narrative that makes use of flashforwards and flashbacks to maintain an electrifying pace, Morais goes from Lula''s childhood to the annulment of his convictions, in 2021, passing through the new unionism, the ABC strikes, the foundation of the PT and the first election campaign.
