About this book

Two French orphans are deceived into joining Nicolas Durand de Villegagnon’s sixteenth-century expedition to establish a colony in Brazil, believing it may lead them to their missing father. The real, nearly forgotten attempt at ‘Antarctic France’ becomes a vivid adventure of religious conflict, colonial ambition and encounter with Indigenous peoples. Jean-Christophe Rufin combines historical scale with the viewpoint of children caught inside Europe’s violent discovery of the New World. Originally written in French as “Rouge Brésil”, the work appears here in an Arabic translation by Hanan Qassab Hassan.
