Brazil is one of the four new global superpowers with its vast natural resources and burgeoning industries. Half a continent in size and a potent mix of races, religions and cultures, of unexplored wildernesses and bustling modern cities, it is also one of the few countries Michael Palin has never fully travelled - until now.

Review:

Praise for Michael Palin: "Witty and entertaining." --"The New York Times"

"""Charming and often hilarious." "--The New York Daily News"

"Ever affable and eclectic, Palin disarms and delights. He has an unerring eye for the bizarre. His book is sheer escapism, pure entertainment, and I love it." --"The Sunday Times "(UK) "Italy, Paris, back to Africa, and on to Cuba and Key West, Michael Palin's "Hemingway Adventure" works on many different levels: There's Palin's charm and self-deprecating style. There are his keen insights on life, balanced nicely by pure silliness from time to time . . . A delightful travelogue." --"The Baltimore Sun"
