The creation of the world and other legends of the Amazon

Vera do Val currently lives in Manaus, where she researched and collected legends and myths of the Amazonian people, from which she wrote the beautiful 'The imaginary of the forest'. From this work, the short stories that talk about origins - the night, the stars, the moon, the rivers, the world - were selected, which make up this The creation of the world. The illustrations by Geraldo Valério, made with collages of colors and magnificent and unusual shapes, beautifully complete this book, which is a stunning tribute to the culture of our indigenous people.
