Acerca de este título
 In 1939, on a small volcanic island in Cape Verde, two young brothers stood at a harbour and watched their parents sail away. They never came back.João was six. José was four. Their mother and father had signed a Portuguese colonial contract to work the coconut plantations of Mozambique passage paid one way, the children left behind. What the family could not know was that the parents would not survive the journey, and that the two small boys left standing on the dock at Furna would spend the next thirty years carrying each other across three continents, oceans, and miles of road.This is their true story.From the famine-struck alleys of Praia and the "Assistência," the famine-relief effort that became a local catastrophe, hidden away for years to the colonial quarters of Guinea-Bissau, under the Portuguese dictatorship and the watchful eye of its secret police, the PIDE. From the marble yards of Abidjan and Dakar to the streets of Salvador da Bahia, Brazil. From a punishing Atlantic crossing in the hold of a steamer to a small Cape Verdean rooming house in the south-west of France two orphaned brothers held to a single promise, made as children beneath a wooden bench on a slope above their village: I will come back for you.Drawn from years of recorded interviews with the author's father and uncle, The Brothers of Brava is a work of literary non-fiction patient, intimate, deeply moving, and quietly devastating.It is a portrait of the Cape Verdean century: of the families broken by colonial contracts, of a people scattered across three continents, of the morna sung in every harbour, and of the bench on a volcanic island that waited, across four generations, for someone to come home.It is a story stitched from small, unforgettable things: a pair of leather shoes bought with a first day's wages and worn across three continents; a monkey carried aboard a boat in Guinea-Bissau; the deep-water fishing off the coast of Dakar; a guitar passed from a father's hands to a son's. And through all of it, from the stone benches of Cachaço to a front room in France, the morna the aching, ocean-deep song of Cape Verde, the sound of a people who learned to carry home inside a melody.A true story. A journey across oceans, roads, and three continents. A brotherhood that outlasted everything sent to break it.Across every crossing, one question followed him and one answer:"Are you going again? Where to?""I don't know yet. The only thing I know is that I'll keep going until I find a land and a place I can call home."In Cabo Verde Criolu as they spoke it:Na kriolu, sima es dos irmon ta papiaba:"Bu ta bai otu bês? Pa undi?""N ka sabe inda. Úniku kuza ki N sabe é ma N ta kontinua te N atxa un téra, un lugar ki N pode txoma di kaza."In French: Tu repars encore ? Où ça ? Je ne sais pas encore. Tout ce que je sais, c'est que je continuerai jusqu'à trouver une terre, un endroit que je pourrai appeler chez moi. Em português:"Vais partir outra vez? Para onde?""Ainda não sei. A única coisa que sei é que vou continuar até encontrar uma terra, um lugar a que possa chamar casa."Told in English, with the Cape Verdean Kriolu and Portuguese the brothers themselves spoke, woven throughout.And beneath it all, always, the morna the song they never stopped singing, in every language, in every port, until they finally found a place to call home.©2026 Pascal Baptista (P)2026 Pascal Baptista
