Synopsis "Amazonian Tales"

Along the Amazon, the boundary between history and legend is dangerously thin. In these nine stories, a fisherman is torn from his mother and sent to war, an arrogant official challenges a feared sorceress, a mysterious stranger arrives at a forbidden ball, and families are engulfed by banditry and rebellion. Enchanted animals, ominous birds, poisonous plants, and ancestral spirits inhabit the same world as corrupt authorities, powerful landowners, persecuted Indigenous people, and ordinary men and women struggling against poverty and violence. Blending folk horror, social satire, historical drama, and psychological realism, Inglês de Sousa transforms the nineteenth-century Amazon into a landscape of extraordinary beauty and profound terror. First published in 1893, Amazonian Tales is a classic of Brazilian literature, presented here in a new English translation.
