LULA'S TALE

The Brazilian phoenix

Synopsis

For the fourth time, Luiz Inácio "Lula" da Silva has been elected president of Brazil in 2026.

This is an extraordinary and entirely unexpected comeback for a man who survived cancer, lost all his loved ones, and endured a politically charged trial that landed him in prison for more than a year and a half, before being fully exonerated by the courts.

Like a phoenix constantly rising from its ashes, Lula's life is a true novel that subtly chronicles seventy-five years of Brazilian history, a country as vast as a continent that has oscillated for decades between dictatorship and democracy, between a more or less reformist left and a more or less hardline right, and between relentless modernization and widespread poverty.
