Publisher's Synopsis
Through diaries, notes, photographs, sometimes small annotated papers, old books and magazines, forgotten home films, old photographs, negatives and documents found in folders or cabinets, during a five-year work, architect, composer and photographer Emanuel Dimas de Melo Pimenta reconstitutes the life of two ancestors: his father and his grandfather. It is a surprising and fascinating story that reveals much of the spirit of an era and of two countries in a trip of more than a century.
