Synopsis

From 1919 to 1955, the world experienced tumultuous change. This conclusion to an epic series set in Rio de Janeiro explores radical shifts in issues such as poverty, race, love, and human suffering against the historical backdrop of the Roaring Twenties, women’s liberation, and World War II.

In the 1920s, Benedita befriends a German, Frieda, and together they embrace transformation and women’s rights. Yet as their friendship grows, Frieda falls in love with Benedita, forming a complex passion that will span decades, including a war.

In the 1930s, an American couple strives to create a good life, even under the rule of the Brazilian president-turned-dictator, who first flirted with Hitler and the Axis powers before declaring war against them. When the couple’s second son is born in the aftermath of World War II, they fail to protect him in the most essential of ways. It is through Dougal’s experience that we come to understand how the scars of childhood trauma can last a lifetime.

In the sixth and final installment of the Seeds of Suffering series, we discover how the people of Rio de Janeiro survive their own struggles as Brazil progresses through the twentieth century.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Douglas Reid Copeland attended Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, but he was born and raised in the Ipanema zone of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, one of the sixty countries in which he has lived or visited.

A victim of child abuse, mental trauma, physical manipulation, and neglect, Copeland was one of the powerless of society. After over twenty years of a variety of psychiatric, medicinal, and even spiritual treatments, Copeland has ultimately come to experience the beginnings of freedom. His writing sheds light on the joys and suffering of human existence and offers to his readers the redemption he himself has experienced. The Seeds of Suffering is his first series.
