159 pp. First English language edition. Travel book with color photographs throughout; map; text in English translated by Jackueline Schweighofer. Binding tight; boards clean; dust jacket pristine; this copy in FINE CONDITION. Quoting part of the text, an essay on jeito: "It was a jeito that had opened the door to the country for us [as immigrants]. Jeito is the magic word with so many meanings in Brazilian everyday life. It is untranslatable and means roughly: to find a way out, a solution to a problem. That sounds very matter-of-fact and cool. Dar um jeito, to 'give a jeito' is more than 'way out' or 'solution'. It is human mastery of a difficult situation, it is an almost ritual dialogue between petitioner and giver, it is the humane interpretation of the law and regulations with the utmost flexibility, it is that deep, emotionally-powered will to 'have one more go' in a difficult, impossible situation, in the big and the small things of life. A hundred times in the course of my life in Brazil I have begged for jeito, have experienced jeito around me and finally have attempted to 'give a jeito' myself. . . " Size: 28 x 22 cm. 0.0.
