Journey on the Estrada Real: Encounters in the Mountains of Brazil
( Life along the Estrada Real is still very much in the 1...)
Life along the Estrada Real is still very much in the 19th century. Women cook meals on wood stoves. Men go about their business on horseback. Mules carry firewood and such. People will invite a stranger into the house and offer him food. Cheney's book is a unique look at the cradle of Brazilian culture. This isn't the Brazil of beaches, rain forests, and slum-infected cities. It's a place where tradition, architecture, food, music, and values go back hundreds of years. But the quiet, rural life along the Estrada Real is under assault from global culture, a concern Cheney grapples with as he makes what may be the last observations of a dying way of life. The book includes photographs taken along the Estrada Real.

(Frankenstein (not his real name) thumbs the nation's inte...)
Frankenstein (not his real name) thumbs the nation's interstates, back and forth, up and down, here and there. He's lonely, desperate for affection, and slightly paranoid of a world too weird to grasp. The only thing Frankenstein does well is wonder. He's looking for something but doesn't know quite what. His father. A job. A hamster farm. His doozy blip. A way out. A way in. A way back. What's a young loser to do? He's on the cusp of so many things-death, discovery, love, insanity, insight, wisdom and arrest...he just doesn't know which way to go or what to make of it all. So he sticks his thumb out and hitches a ride to somewhere else. Then all of a sudden he's in jail with a three-year-old and insanely in love. This is a novel of laughter and tears. Open it up. Meet Frankenstein. Then see what happens.

Glenn Cheney arrived in Kiev during those first days when the Soviet Union ceased to exist and Ukraine was reborn. Almost immediately he found himself talking with scientist, journalist, refugees, engineers, top-level government officials, doctors, environmentalists, parents of sick children and people living just a few kilometers from the Chernobyl complex. He heard stories about the disaster that went far beyond what had appeared in the Western press. The reports of atrocities, epidemics, tyrannyand dispair blend with a most unsual travelogue, considerable humor and KGB intrigue.

In 1697, the Portuguesebuilt the Estrada Real — the Royal Road — to bring gold and gems down from the mountains of Minas Gerais. The Estrada Real is still there — a dirt road winding through the cultural cradle of Brazil. It connects historic baroque cities, from Rio de Janeiro and Paraty to Ouro Preto and Diamantina. When Glenn Alan Cheney hiked the northern half of the road, he witnessed the waning days of a culture clinging to the 19th century while being thrust into the 21st. He spoke with people who remembered the days before electricity. He touched vestiges of slavery. And with the Tocquevillian eye of an astute foreign observer, he recorded details of a culture fading into history.

Passion in an Improper Place
(Ysa should have known better. She shouldn't have believed...)
Ysa should have known better. She shouldn't have believed Kit. Shouldn't have gone up the Amazon with the Gumball King. Should haven't let a Mundurucu take up her up a river in a canoe. Shouldn't have ventured alone into mining camp. Kit should have known better. He shouldn't have taken women into Amazonia. Shouldn't have taken a hippie-chick and 20,000 porpoises up in an airplane. Shouldn't have played bridge with an underground lumberjack. Definitely shouldn't have trusted his foster brother, the Gumball King. Soong Tan should have known better, too. She shouldn't have trusted grown-ups. Shouldn't have tempted the kilo-rats or played in the Village of Death. Shouldn't have shot a poisoned arrow at Kit. Shouldn't have started a war. Passion isn't proper in an improper place, and deepest, darkest Amazonia is anything but proper. It's no place for a nice little family to end up in coffins- one large, one medium, one small.
