«Rouge Brésil» is the historical novel by Jean-Christophe Rufin, published by Folio in paperback (608 pages, in French).
In the sixteenth century, a French expedition takes two children, Just and Colombe, to Brazil to serve as interpreters for the indigenous tribes. The adventure in Rio Bay pits two opposing conceptions of man and nature against each other: conquering Europe versus the indigenous world, in a tale of learning and love.
The novel was originally published in 2001 and won the Prix Goncourt that same year; this Folio edition is from 2014.
Aimed at readers of historical fiction and French literature, with a colonial-set adventure and philosophical undertones.
Jean-Christophe Rufin is a French doctor, diplomat, historian and novelist. He is the president of Action Against Hunger, one of the earliest members of Médecins Sans Frontières, and a member of the Académie française.
