Rio de Janeiro rises between Atlantic water and granite peaks, a city where beaches, forests, ports, hillsides and dense neighbourhoods continually reshape one another. Its beauty is public and unmistakable, but never separate from labour, memory and unequal access to the city.

A Little Book of Rio de Janeiro enters the city through forty concise, researched reflections. Move from Indigenous Guanabara, France Antarctique, Portuguese foundation, slavery and Valongo Wharf to the royal court, abolition, urban demolition and the Vaccine Revolt. Follow samba from Tia Ciata's home to the Sambadrome; encounter choro, bossa nova, funk carioca, football, botequins and street vendors; and consider how favelas, trains, migration, pollution, rain and climate risk shape daily life between mountain and sea.

Written for travellers, readers and lovers of layered cities, this is an intimate literary portrait rather than a conventional guidebook: a book about water, mountains, rhythm and the contested work of belonging in Rio.
