In the old quarter of Salvador da Bahia, a runner at the medical school named Pedro Archanjo spends his nights writing down what the city refuses to see: the samba, the candomblé, and the mixed blood its professors call degeneracy. He is an autodidact, a lover of women and cachaça, and he fights the faculty's Aryan science not with degrees but with the living proof of his own streets.
The invention of the people is the only truth, no power will ever be able to deny or corrupt it.
