Book, Extraordinary people: resistance, rebellion and jazz[LS]

Language: Brazilian Portuguese. Eric J. Hobsbawm provides an unprecedented and surprising retrospective of famous and anonymous biographical figures. In most cases, they are common characters, who, through their collective actions, play important roles in the history of the proletariat. Workers, musicians, students, bandits, jazz singers and even one of the founders of the North American Republic are here to compose a larger project, to tell the story written by those who lost something. Such characters show the impasses, contradictions and hopes of crucial historical moments of the proletariat.
