Rio de Janeiro – Assouline Classics Collection

Experience the vibrant soul of Brazil with Assouline’s “Rio de Janeiro”, a captivating journey through the color, rhythm, and energy of one of the world’s most iconic cities. Towering over it all is Christ the Redeemer, arms outstretched atop Corcovado, a symbol as grand as the city’s spirit itself. With Guanabara Bay, Ipanema, and Copacabana stretched out below, Rio pulses with a passion that moves through its art, music, architecture, and unrelenting celebration of life.

From the high-energy beats of samba and bossa nova to unforgettable moments like Carnival, the Olympics, and World Cups, this book captures the essence of a city that lives loudly and unapologetically. Featuring more than 200 vivid images and local insights by Bruno Astuto, Rio de Janeiro by Assouline reveals the city's magnetic contrasts: from lush mountains to modernist masterpieces by Oscar Niemeyer, and from the legendary Copacabana Palace to electrifying beachside concerts.

Part of Assouline’s Classics Collection, this beautifully bound volume is a visual and cultural homage to a destination that continues to inspire the world.
