With Italy triumphant on the football field, there is a certain inverted logic in the tour's next destination. When all the votes were counted the scores were tied, but justice was served when the former world champions, Brazil, beat the former Yugoslavia in a closely fought penalty shoot-out. So it's time to pour yourself a caipirinha or two and join the party.
From Amazonian myths to 17th-century Jesuit priest Antonio Vieira, romantic poet Alvares de Azevedo, modernist Jorge Amado and beyond, we welcome suggestions for fiction, non-fiction, poetry, theatre and more. Ideally they should be available in English, but keep suggesting books that have yet to be translated, and maybe one day they will be.
Meanwhile at Vulture towers we've been gathering up your recommendations for future reference. You can find the results of our labours so far in our World literature tour section. And what a smorgasbord of reading delights it is - many thanks to all who have contributed. We'll keep adding to the archive as we go along.
And don't forget to cast your votes for our next destination. Anyone else fancy Egypt?
