From the Venezuelan\u00a0Border and the forests of the Lost World where he encounters the Yanomami and their ongoing territorial war with the gold\u00a0Miners; he follows Teddy Roosevelt’s disastrous expedition of 1914; he journeys by river to the headwaters of the Xingu; \u00a0by plane over huge tracts of forest, by steam train and by road along the Trans-Amazonica allow him to reach a\u00a0Kaleidoscopic mix of peoples: the indigenous hunter-gatherers of the interior, the descendants of African slaves with their\u00a0vibrant culture of rituals and festivals and music, the large community of German descent who celebrate their patrimony at\u00a0the biggest beer festival outside Munich, and the wealthy guachas of the Pantanal amongst them.<\/p>\n His journey ends at the border with Uruguay and the spectacular Iguacu Falls. \u00a0Jonathan Johnston, Store Manager of Eason\u2019s flagship store in Belfast, said: “Michael Palin always pulls in great crowds and as we\u00a0start the countdown to Christmas we are delighted he is coming to Eason in Belfast to give his army of fans here in Northern\u00a0Ireland the chance to get their copy of Brazil<\/em> signed \u2013 it\u2019s the perfect gift!<\/p>\n “Friday\u2019s event is one of a number of high profile signings taking place in Eason\u2019s flagship store in the coming weeks and we\u2019re\u00a0delighted to be able to bring these great opportunities to our customers.
