"Third edition of third volume of a trilogy (the first two are Chove nos campos de Cachoeira, see HLAS 7:4962 and Marajó, see HLAS 13:2327). The splendiferous Amazonian landscape is evident throughout the narrative, encompassing life in a small village on the island of Marajó. Author's skills include his determined approach to the Amazonian world as an integral part of humankind with its psychological and other conflicts, and his avoidance of the exoticism that usually accompanies texts related to that region"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
