Lonely Planet review for 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.
