Book, Here. In This Place.[LS]

Language: Brazilian Portuguese. The forest never sleeps. Neither do shamans and their disciples. In a bygone era, pre-European invasions, a profusion of forest beings and people prepare for a clash that promises to shake up life on the planet. In this dystopian and metaphorical novel by Maria José Silveira, Amazons and virile warriors share the scene with ambiguous and comical figures, such as the brothers Macu and Naíma, a double species of Pedro Malasartes, as well as many other entities from national folklore. In a plot that marches from several directions to reach a mythical arena, the author involves us in a narrative that mixes humor, sensuality and social criticism.
