A magical retelling of the myth of Eldorado, the Enchanted City of
the Amazon, by one of Brazil's most acclaimed writers
The setting for this magical fable is Eldorado, the enchanted
city that inhabited the fevered dreams of European navigators and
conquistadors, but eluded all attempts to find it on the map. Some
have linked it to Manaus in the Amazon Basin, and it is here that
Arminto Cordovil lives with his father Amando in a white mansion.
Theirs is a relationship full of passion and limitless ambition.
Separating father and son is a remarkable cast of characters, from
Angelina, the dead mother, to Denisio, the infernal boatman, and at
the center, Dinaura, a girl who bewitches Arminto and dreams of
Eldorado. This rich and magical fable beautifully captures the
atmosphere of the steamy, lush Amazonian world.
