O Retrato

In this book, Osvado Peralva describes all the lies and mistakes of the communism, from within. Peralva was a journalist and a international reporter, and member of The Brazilian Communist Party, for 30 years. After a Kruschev communication, in 1956, he left the party and wrote this denounce-book about the big lies that the Soviet Union was trying to spread around the world in the 50’s and 60’s. He was ostracized and accused of being a CIA member by almost all the left-wing brazilian intellectuals. He died in Rio, October 18, 1992.
