Sinopsis
The astonishing story of an ordinary man forced to make a decision that would turn his world upside down
How did Antônio Francisco Bonfim Lopes, a hardworking young father, become the king of Rocinha, the largest slum in Rio; the head of a drug cartel; and perhaps Brazil’s most wanted criminal, known to all as “Nem”? Nemesis is the riveting account of his ruthless ascent in Rio’s terrifying underworld, his sway over its anarchic outlaw culture, and his accidental fall. Nem tried to bring welfare and justice to a playground of gang culture and destitution, but he quickly found himself embroiled in a world of gold hunters and evangelical pastors, bent police officers and rich-kid addicts, quixotic politicians and drug lords with math degrees.
Spanning rainforests and high-security prisons, filthy slums and glittering shopping malls, Nemesis chronicles Brazil’s journey into the global spotlight—and the battle for the beautiful but damned city of Rio as it struggles to break free from a tangled web of corruption, violence, drugs and poverty. Nem is held at the center of it all, locked in a fight for his country’s future.

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. 293 pp. Tightly bound. Corners not bumped. Text is free of markings. Stated First Edition with no later printing history offered. Good dust jacket. Jacket not price clipped. The reason for the lower "good" rating for the dust jacket is because two stickers were removed from the front of the jacket and heel of the spine leaving both a small surface abrasion and leaving it a bit sticky to the touch. PLEASE NOTE: This is a very clean EX-LIBRARY COPY. There are no call numbers on the spine of the book. There are no names stamped on the page edges. There is not a check-out pocket at the back of the book. There is a neat library name stamp on the front end paper along with a neat withdrawn stamp. There is a white 2" x 2" security sticker tag on the white rear end paper. This is a very good copy with stated minor cosmetic detractions. Nº de ref. del artículo: 096451

Hardcover. Condición: As New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: As New. First U.S. Edition. His name was Antonio, but they would call him Nem. From the infamous favela of Rocinha in Rio, he was a hardworking young father forced to make a decision that would turn his world upside down. NEMESIS is the story of an ordinary man who became the king of the largest slum in Rio, the head of a drug cartel, and perhaps Brazil's most wanted criminal. A man who tried to bring welfare and justice to a playground of gang culture and destitution, while everyone around him drew guns and partied. It's a gripping tale of gold-hunters and evangelical pastors, bent police and rich-kid addicts, quixotic politicians and drug lords with math degrees. Traversing through rain forests and high-security prisons, filthy slums and glittering shopping malls, this is also the story of how change came to Brazil. Of a country's journey into the global spotlight, and the battle for the beautiful but damned city of Rio, as it struggles to break free from a tangled web of corruption, violence, drugs, and poverty. With Nem at its center, locked in a fight for his country's soul. As new, unread, first edition, first printing copy, in as new, mylar-protected dust jacket.{Not remainder-marked or price-clipped} NFBS2. Nº de ref. del artículo: 022238
