Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - You think you know Rio de Janeiro: the sun, the beaches, Carnival, the sheer beauty. But Rio has another face entirely.Beyond the postcards and famous landmarks lies a city shaped by ghosts, forgotten histories, old houses, sacred spaces, local legends, and stories whispered from one generation to the next.In Shadows of Rio, author Ariane Saltoris pulls back the curtain on the darker side of the Marvelous City-a place where history clings to the cobblestones and certain stories flat-out refuse to disappear.Visit cemeteries where the dead still command deep devotion. Walk across historic squares where executions once shook the public square. Uncover the eerie legends tied to old mansions, abandoned houses, forgotten churches, castles, palaces, fortresses, islands, and dense forests. Along the way, you will meet mysterious apparitions, child miracle workers, ghostly figures, haunted halls, and the women whose names became permanently woven into Rio's folklore.These are not just simple ghost stories, though.Every legend is deeply tangled in the real history of Rio de Janeiro: its brutal colonial past, the days of the Portuguese court, the Brazilian Empire, the shadow of slavery, political upheavals, rich religious traditions, massive migrations, and the constant reshaping of the city itself. Landmarks like Cais do Valongo, Paço Imperial, Palácio Tiradentes, Campo de Santana, and historic cemeteries reveal hidden layers that get entirely lost when you only experience Rio through its tourist brochures.Organized around the actual places where these stories live, the book explores Rio through seven distinct themes:The dead and their namesHouses that rememberBlood and powerImperial grandeur and ruinThe children of the forest and the seaThe women the city tried to forgetAnd the journey doesn't stop at the last page.The final section is a practical, folklore-infused travel guide. It maps out the book's locations into real-world walking routes and areas to explore-from historic Centro and Santa Teresa to the Port Zone, Guanabara Bay's fortresses, Maracanã, Pedra da Gávea, Ilha de Paquetá, Ilha Grande, Petrópolis, and Campos dos Goytacazes. There is even a dedicated section for traveling with kids.Whether you are planning your first trip to Rio, returning to a city you thought you knew by heart, or simply drawn to folklore, dark history, and the supernatural, Shadows of Rio offers an entirely new way to see the Marvelous City.Come for the legends. Stay for the history. And the next time you walk through Rio, look twice.…
