The novel “The Secret of Avicenna. Adventures of the Brazilians in Afghanistan” by young Brazilian author Eliu Schwarzman is an exciting story about an expedition of Brazilian scientists—four men and two women—who, chased by “competitors” and the Russian mafia, search in Afghanistan and Pakistan for an ancient citadel guarding treasures unknown to the world.
The novel is distinguished by a sharp intrigue and is a mixture of adventure, humor, sex, espionage, and history.
