In the eight pieces that make up The Amazon: Land Without History, which was first published in Portuguese in 1909, Euclides da Cunha offers a rare look into twentieth- century Amazonia and the consolidation of South-American nation states. Translated into Victorian English, which mirrors the rich and grandiose style of da Cunha's writing, this book offers a view of the continuously changing ecology of the Amazon, a testimony to the Brazilian colonial enterprise, and its imperialist tendencies with regard to neighboring nation-states.
Edited with introduction and notes by Lúcia Sá
