Lula is among the greatest political figures in Brazilian history.
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's leading writers, has gained
direct, frank and frequent access to Lula. To these dozens of hours
of testimonies, he has added a reporter'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'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.
