Publisher's Summary

Há séculos, a beleza distingue e desperta invejas. Ela é objeto de desejo, instrumento de poder e moeda de troca em diferentes sociedades. No último século, o corpo transformou-se em algo tão importante, complexo e sensível quanto outrora fora a alma. Esta obra, que combina trabalho rigoroso e linguagem saborosa, mostra o que se faz para buscar a beleza–e como esse conceito muda com o tempo. Desde o garbo e a elegância nos primeiros anos da República até a atual banalização das cirurgias plásticas, História da beleza no Brasil trata das transformações ligadas aos padrões estéticos e aos cuidados com o corpo, mas também do martírio causado pela feiura e da tumultuada luta para driblar o envelhecimento, a solidão e o fracasso.

Please note: This audiobook is in Brazilian Portuguese.
