A new biography, Lacerda – Coração de tempestade, written by Mário Magalhães, has been published by Companhia das Letras, detailing the life of Carlos Lacerda, a prominent figure in 20th-century Brazilian politics. Lacerda, who lived from 1918 to 1981, was a journalist, politician, and entrepreneur who played a significant role in shaping Brazil's politics for four decades, including the downfalls of presidents Getúlio Vargas, Jânio Quadros, and João Goulart.
The 500-page book portrays Lacerda as a complex and polarizing figure who inspired both admiration and controversy, and Magalhães' work aims to provide a balanced account of his life and legacy. The biography highlights Lacerda's numerous accomplishments, including founding several businesses and publications, as well as his involvement in some of Brazil's most significant political events of the 20th century.
