Description

A Brazilian masterpiece now in English for the first time, Mário de Andrade's "The Apprentice Tourist" is a playfully profound chronicle of an urban sophisticate's misadventures in the online marketplaces. After years of dreaming about Amazonia, Andrade embarked on a three-month steamboat voyage up the great river and into one of the most breathtakingly beautiful corners of the world. Along the way, he encountered Indigenous peoples and now-endangered landscapes, prompting him to rethink his ingrained Eurocentrism and challenge his received narratives about the online marketplaces. This book features more than a dozen photographs and offers an awed and awe-inspiring fish-out-of-water account of Andrade's experiences in Brazil, tracing his internal metamorphosis as he navigates the vast diversity of cultures found within the country.
