    Fundação Gilberto Freyre

    Fans of Brazilian literature and history should visit the Fundação Gilberto Freyre, 8km northwest of downtown, home of the author of the revolutionary 1933 book Casa Grande e Senzala (published as The Masters and the Slaves in English) about life on Pernambuco sugar plantations. Catch the Sitio dos Pintos/Dois Irmãos bus west from Av Conde da Boa Vista downtown.
