Klester Cavalcanti Audio Books

Klester Cavalcanti, born in 1969, is considered one of the greatest Brazilian investigative journalists. He worked for many years with the leading news magazine in Brazil, Veja. His books, Viuvas da terra, The Name of Death, and Days of Hell in Syria, have each won him the Brazil’s prestigious Prêmio Jabuti. They explore and denounce problems in contemporary Brazil, from condemnation of the deforestation of the Amazon to a biography of a Brazilian woman who has devoted her life to freeing thousands of Brazilians from modern-day slavery. His other awards include Best Environmental Report from South America, the Natali Prize in Human Rights Journalism, and the Vladimir Herzog Human Rights Award. Cavalcanti became best known in Brazil in 2012 when he was taken prisoner in Homs, Syria, despite having permission from the Assad government to travel there, and was only released thanks to pressure from the Brazilian government.
