Rio de Janeiro captured with photographs by Veiga, taken with a 1979 Polaroid SX-70 camera accompany a collection of works written about Rio de Janeiro between 1960 and 2005 by various authors. Together the two represent a voyage of the city and offer a better understanding of the "Carioca" spirit. The book includes texts by Vinicius de Morais, Clarice Lispector, Ferreira Gullar, Armando Freitas Filho among many other authors.
