Description

Se a Amazônia torna-se um espaço-chave para o prosseguimento da aventura humana no planeta Terra, e com ela todas as formas da biodiversidade cuja evolução desencadeou e, depois, acompanhou a da nossa espécie, a consciência do processo, no entanto, muito antes da dramaticidade que alcançou, teve momentos de elaboração e crítica, na história da ciência e da cultura, em particular na chamada literatura dos viajantes, dos cronistas coloniais aos naturalistas românticos, e destes aos primeiros ficcionistas. Todos e cada um, a seu modo, tentaram representar aquela paisagem, em seu desmesuramento que guarda os segredos do deslumbre e do horror. Euclides da Cunha, depois de sua narrativa da tragédia sertaneja de Canudos, foi um dos primeiros escritores latino-americanos modernos a encarar o desafio de 'escrever a Amazônia'.
