      A primeira – e aguardada – biografia de vulto de Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.Para além de juízos ou paixões, Lula está entre as maiores figuras políticas da história brasileira. Único presidente do país com origens operárias, e campo magnético de um partido profundamente original em suas raízes, exerceu o poder carismático e a influência de modo mais duradouro que qualquer outro homem público no período republicano, salvo talvez Getúlio Vargas - com quem também compartilha a virulência dos adversários.Desde 2011, Fernando Morais ganhou acesso direto, franco e frequente a Lula. A essas dezenas de horas de depoimentos, somou o faro de repórter e a prosa cativante para compor projeto biográfico que traz um painel do personagem em toda sua grandeza e complexidade.Em narrativa que faz uso de recuos e avanços cronológicos para manter um ritmo eletrizante, neste primeiro volume Morais vai da infância de Lula até o anulamento de suas condenações, em 2021 – passando pelo novo sindicalismo, as greves do ABC, a fundação do PT e a primeira campanha eleitoral.
