Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. In the part III of "Diplomatic Trail", "In Africa and Asia", the narrative becomes autobiographical, but the author tries to report it as a romance describing life in Brazilian embassies and consulates in Lagos, Kuala Lumpur, Nagoya, and the historical moment in Nigeria, Malaysia and Japan. He also reports the contacts with and assistance to the Brazilian community in those three countries, as well as in Benin (Cotonou) and Brunei, where he was cumulative Ambassador simultaneously with Nigeria and Malaysia. Based upon his daily notebook agendas, he describes numerous tourist travels to around one hundred countries in five continents and in Brazil, in the final phases of his diplomatic career.In the African trail, a fictional character, the diplomat Ermirio, has a significant role. The same happens with some in the Asian trail. A special attention was reserved for the visit of Pope John Paul II to Abuja Nigeria in March 1998 and the Shakespearian drama involving the Nigerian dictator General Sani Abacha and his prisoner Chief Abiola, who died in jail simply because he had been elected president. In Kuala Lumpur, he describes a similar situation involving the Prime Minister Mahathir and his prisoner Anwar Ibrahim. The highlight of the Asian trail is the celebration of the centennial year of the Japanese immigration to Brazil in 2008, followed by a serious economic crisis when the Brazilian decasseguis lost their jobs, had to return to Brazil and the number of Brazilian immigrants in Japan was reduced from 320 thousand to 250 thousand in less than one year.Everywhere the author treats the narrative as a "fanciful reality", instead of a boring and selfish autobiography. Everywhere he goes back to his childhood in Belo Horizonte and to the bucolical district of Lourdes, to his beloved Atletico Mineiro Football Club whose games he followed by TV, computer or radio for over 50 years, in every country where he lived. He followed the diplomatic trail of hardship posts in Africa and Asia, the "Ho Chi Min" trail, and he can't regret it, because his career was happy and he ended it successfully.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. If you want to be universal, begin by painting your village! (Tolstoy)Following Tolstoy's advice, after painting his homeland in a previous trilogy, Our Golden Yearly Years, Geraldo Muzzi describes his diplomatic journey of four decades, in a mixture of reality and fiction. He describes countries and cultures, conducting the reader with a friendly hand, driving him to inebriation and a vertigo of feelings, inviting us to close the eyes and follow him in the description of life in embassies and consulates in different lands in all continents and their historical moments and peculiarities.At the end of this international trilogy we become aware that this work is a real shrine, a repository of aspects seldom before explored in the History books or in the media news. The iron curtain, a name to describe the division between Eastern and Western Europe, is the scenario of political and economic influences, describing a society in which the words of order were cautiousness, fear and mystery.This book is an invitation to knowledge, not only of what History teaches us, but also the version of those who participated of decisive moments in the route that Brazil and the world shared until the emergency of the XXI century. Some spirits are still reluctant and uncompromising in accepting globalization, arguing that it will bury culture and fragment even more the identities; but maybe there is an optimistic idea in this panorama, if we appreciate unity in diversity, the parts and the whole, without that kind of homogenization that could destroy the character of mankind. Some questions are answered to the readers during this narrative: how is the daily life in an Embassy and the Ambassador's intimacy? What is the Adam's apple, or what is the way to explain and justify individual or collective questions? In a word, what is the amount of fiction and reality in the pages of this trilogy?
