| Summary | "Contos do Norte" by João Marques de Carvalho is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The book showcases narratives that celebrate the life and culture of the Amazonian people, particularly reflecting on the experiences of those who inhabit the lush, untamed landscapes of the region. Themes of love, loss, and nature are prevalent, portraying the emotional depth and resilience of the characters. The opening of "Contos do Norte" welcomes readers with a heartfelt homage to the people of Pará, introducing the reader to the life of a caboclo named Antonio. Following a tragic event where he loses his wife to the sea, Antonio moves to a remote area with his son in search of solace. Yet, his grief transforms into a fierce desire for revenge against the ocean, leading him to a fateful encounter during a storm. The opening sets a rich, atmospheric backdrop, emphasizing the connection between humanity and the natural world, laying the groundwork for the poignant tales that follow.
