Original book "Os Capoeiras". The 1st capoeira book in the world, written in 1886 in Rio de Janeiro by the author Plácido de Abreu.

A novel recounting the life of Capoeiras in Rio de Janeiro in the 19th century.

Considering the time in which it was written and the difficulties inherent to the moment, Os Capoeiras is a faithful record.

“The most rational thing is that capoeiragem was created, developed and perfected among us.” Placido de Abreu

We managed to obtain some copies of this rare work that is no longer published. Don't miss this opportunity to purchase the first book written about Capoeiras.

Format: 14.5cmX21cm
