• TEXTO 1:
Candace Slater
1
The Brothers (Dois Irmãos), written by the
Amazonian novelist Milton Hatoum, tells of the
conflicts between two deeply different twin brothers in
a family of Lebanese immigrants to the Brazilian city of
Manaus. A dramatic portrait of a region that is
routinely defined in biological, economic, and
ethnographic terms, the story happens in a growing
metropolis which has ties with both the surrounding
river and forest.
2
There are, to be sure, plenty of other realistic fictions about the Amazon. Hatoum's
novel is, however, quite different from these other works in a number of ways. First, the book
is one of a very small number of works by authors born in the Amazon that have obtained
national and international recognition. The only real comparison in this regard is the work of
Márcio Souza, also from Manaus, author of Mad Maria. Then too, in its focus not upon the
forest but on the city, the novel stands apart from the great majority of other literary portraits
of the region.
3
In this novel Manaus is not shown as a remote jungle village, but as a today's industrial
metropolis of 1.5 million persons. Although indigenous people do appear in its pages, they
live together with recent arriving immigrants from various other corners of the world. The
central place of Manaus in the novel effectively emphasizes the urban reality of today's
Amazon—a region of some 23 million people, over half of whom now live in big and little
cities.

TEXTO 2:
Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis (1839-1908)
Machado de Assis was born in Rio de Janeiro, the son of a house
painter and a Portuguese woman. Machado received little formal
education. He learned French from a neighboring baker. Machado
worked as a printer's apprentice at the National Press, and later he was
a salesman and a proof-reader in a bookshop. During these years he
started to write stories, poems, and novels. He began to gain fame as a
poet in his mid-twenties, and by the late 1860s he had become a
successful Brazilian man of letters.
2
He is widely regarded as Brazil's greatest novelist. Machado wrote
nine novels, eight short-story collections, four volumes of poetry, 13 plays, and numerous
critical essays. He often satirized middle-class values and behavior. Machado de Assis was
an astute observer of the human mind and he revealed its dark sides. He shared with many
authors of his period a reformist concern, but his view was colored with irony and skepticism.
3
His most famous novel, Dom Casmurro, is marvelously humorous, and sinister.
Machado creates provoking unresolvable doubts in the reader's mind. It's no wonder that he
is considered Brazil's greatest novelist and Capitu his most fascinating heroine; like the
Mona Lisa, much lies hidden behind a superb portrait. If you've never heard of Machado de
Assis, do yourself a favor and seek him out. He's well worth the effort.
