Olga, a book by Fernando Morais
   
 

The story of Olga Benário synthetizes the conflict between nature and the implacable discipline imposed to the communist militants in the first half of the 20th century and the emergence of their individuality , of her fellings as a woman, of love and maternity.

In Brazil OLGA is considered one of the greatest best-sellers of the editorial market. The book was translated into many languages, amongst them english, french and german.

 
"Olga" book reviews
   
 
"More than the warm portrayal of a woman, Olga reveals us the courage, sectarianism, solidarity and the optimism that led communist militants to sacrifice in the years that followed the Second World War."
Le Monde, France
 
"A fascinating love story."
Playboy
 
"Fernando Morais recreated the love, courage, integrity and devotion of a woman."
Booklist, Chicago
 
"The story offered Fernando Morais settings and events that seem to have come straight out of a Hollywood movie..."
Los Angeles Times
 
"Olga's life shines upon contemporary history's dark underworld and was narrated with the impact of a suspense novel."
Standard, London
 
"This documentary novel is the journalistic work of a master grabbing the reader from the first to the last word."
