A Brazilian masterpiece, now in English for the first time: a playfully profound chronicle of an urban sophisticate’s misadventures in the Amazon

A Penguin Classic


“My life’s done a somersault,” wrote Mário de Andrade in a letter, on the verge of taking a leap. After years of dreaming about Amazonia, and almost fifty years before Bruce Chatwin ventured into one of the most remote regions of South America in In Patagonia, Andrade, the queer mixed-race “pope” of Brazilian modernism and author of the epic novel Macunaíma, finally embarks on a three-month steamboat voyage up the great river and into one of the most dangerous and breathtakingly beautiful corners of the world. Rife with shrewd observations and sparkling wit, and featuring more than a dozen photographs, The Apprentice Tourist not only offers an awed and awe-inspiring fish-out-of-water account of the Indigenous peoples and now-endangered landscapes of Brazil that he encounters (and, comically, sometimes fails to reach), but also traces his internal metamorphosis: The trip prompts him to rethink his ingrained Eurocentrism, challenges his received narratives about the Amazon, and alters the way he understands his motherland and the vast diversity of cultures found within it.

For more than seventy-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 2,000 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.

Incredible quality leather—built like a tank!
Color: Carhartt Brown (Trifold), Color: Carhartt Brown (Trifold)
I am incredibly impressed with this Carhartt wallet. Right out of the box, you can tell the full-grain brownish saddle leather is top notch quality. It has a great weight to it, feels incredibly durable, and has that authentic, premium leather smell. The stitching around the edges is heavy-duty and tight, so I don't see this fraying anytime soon.It holds all my cards and cash perfectly without getting uncomfortably bulky in my pocket, and the built-in RFID blocking gives me great peace of mind. It’s starting to break in beautifully and develop a nice patina already. If you want a rugged, functional wallet made from actual good materials that will last for years, this is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend!
