1. 1. Brazil Red

   

   In this historical novel, a 16th-century French expedition to the Rio de Janeiro region attempts to found a utopian colony, bringing together idealists, soldiers and missionaries whose competing ambitions and beliefs collide with indigenous peoples and the encroaching Portuguese; the story traces the slow unraveling of their dream through religious disputes, cultural misunderstandings, betrayals and violence, painting a bleak but vivid portrait of colonial ambition and the human costs of idealism in an unfamiliar land.
