Abstract

Between December 1904 and December 1905, Euclides da Cunha was
in the Amazon, charting the course and measuring the width of the
Purus river, because of frontier problems between brasilians and
peruvians in that region. From that journey the writer has left recorded
a variety of impressions about the vegetation, weather, peoples and cities where he passed through. Those impressions are presented in a huge amount of correspondence and in many articles and essays. Our aim is to identify and analyse these impressions of the Amazon, both before and after this trip, from the author of Os sertões.
