Pulsing with vigor... Uys recreates history almost entirely at 'ground level,' through the eyes and actions of an awesome cast of characters." - Publishers Weekly "A massive, richly detailed work, Uys has a sense of pace and eye for detail that rarely fail him." - Washington Post. "A masterpiece! Brazil has the feel of an enchanted virgin forest, a totally new and original world for the reader-explorer to discover." - L'Express, Paris.

"Uys has accomplished what no Brazilian author from José de Alencar to Jorge Amado was able to do. He is the first outsider with the total honesty and sympathy to write our national epic in all its decisive episodes. Descriptions like those of the war with Paraguay are unsurpassed in our literature and evoke the great passages of War and Peace." -- Wilson Martins, Jornal do Brasil
