  1. Brazil Red

    Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Brazil Red Lang fr Rouge Br sil is a 2001 in literature 2001 France French historical novel by Jean Christophe Rufin which recounts the unsuccessful French attempt to conquer Brazil in the 16th century, against a background of wars of religion and a rite of passage discovery of the charms and secrets of the Amerindian world. Plot summary The plot of this veritable epic is set in 1555, on a small island in the Guanabara bay of Rio de Janeiro , where an odd French expeditionary force, made up of sailors, craftsmen, priests, ex convicts and a Quixotic knight, has just landed. Their objective is twofold on the one hand, to set up a French colony on this far off rich continent to compete with the Portugal Portuguese , on the other hand, to convert the Indians to Christianity . Ill prepared for the realities of the New World and, above all, torn apart by theological controversy which sets the Catholics and Calvinists among them against one another, these French pioneers see their dreams of colonisation gradually dissipate. Both satirical and colourful, Rouge Br sil is above all a passionate and exciting exploration of the origins of imperialist thinking.
