The only president in the country with a working-class background, combined with a party that was profoundly original in its roots, he exercised charismatic power and influence in a more lasting way than any other public figure in the republican period. Since 2011, Fernando Morais, one of Brazil\u0026#39;s leading writers, has gained direct, frank and frequent access to Lula. To these dozens of hours of testimonies, he has added a reporter\u0026#39;s flair and captivating prose to compose a biography that paints a picture in all its grandeur and complexity. In a narrative that makes use of flashforwards and flashbacks to maintain an electrifying pace, Morais goes from Lula\u0026#39;s childhood to the annulment of his convictions, in 2021 - passing through the new unionism, the ABC strikes, the foundation of the PT and the first election campaign.","author_name":"Fernando Morais","author_url":"https://hardcover.app/authors/fernando-morais","thumbnail_url":"https://assets.hardcover.app/external_data/1311056/4dd0518bfd3b136c89e34f7037112aa8bedadf96.jpeg","thumbnail_width":128,"thumbnail_height":197}
