Talvez este seja um de meus livros mais variado, pois ele percorre uma dezena de temas diferentes, embora orbitando a volta da Amazonia. Começo abordando dois assuntos complicados: a nossa floresta amazonica e a ocupaço agricola do solo brasileiro, junto com breves comentarios sobre sustentabilidade e aquecimento global. Descrevo dois malogrados projetos para reformar a floresta amazonica, fruto da viso arrogante de grandes empresarios estrangeiros. E, depois, sobre o absurdo da destruiço da nossa grande floresta, um investimento insano em empobrecimento, que entretanto continuamos a perseguir com a obstinaço da maldade. Comento a seguir sobre a ideia muito difundida da incompletude amazonica. E sobre a elegante teoria dos refugios ecologicos, em parte desenvolvida por um zoologo e musico brasileiro. Falo dos felinos que vivem e daqueles que so mortos por nossa estupida ganancia. Se voce sobreviver a esses capitulos, ento sua leitura pode quem sabe se tornar mais facil. Muitas vezes avistei felinos na natureza, esplendidos momentos que agora relato. Finalmente, conto sobre a Onça Borges, em mais uma narrativa de nosso folclore. Volto a assuntos que ja apareceram antes, como as nossas guerras, neste caso, pela Independencia. Entre as mais notaveis expediçes feitas pelo homem esto as conquistas dos Polos Sul e Norte, agora relatadas em algum detalhe. Descrevo como sempre o nosso relevo, assentado no granito, no arenito e no calcario. No e so a floresta e seus habitantes que esto em risco. Ha outras criaçes associadas a vida as frutas e as linguas nativas, tambem ameaçadas de desaparecimento. Quem sabe isto tenha me levado a pensar em Nimuendaju, o etnografo alemo que melhor conheceu nossos povos indigenas conto aqui sua obra e sua historia emocionantes. Comento sobre a arrogancia do Judiciario, autor de uma infeliz cartilha antirracista, que me parece tipica do imperialismo estatal. E, para no abandonar os monstros aos quais voce ja se acostumou, termino com nada menos do que uma duzia deles, bem conhecidos do nosso folclore.

Madelene was born in 1955 in the Guatemalan city of Las Cruces and grew up as happy and free as a gazelle in nature. Bathing every day in the delicious waters of the La Pasión river; stealing fruit from the neighbors orchard and being caught and fleeing from the angry peasants; chasing her brothers Lucas and Freddy in endless pranks and mischiefs. Her childhood memories were calm and stunning, but there was a dreadful shadow lurking in the shadows. It finally put its claws on her and caught her for good. This novel is, above all, a narrative of naive love, just waiting for the appropriate time to seize her heart just at the moment of the great affliction, when she needed it the most. This tale is also a metaphor in several ways of how we experience our daily life. How indeed, we make decisions in a pessimistic, realistic, or hopeful way, and their impact. Finally, it is a model on how to remain afloat even while engulfed in awful miseries.
