REPRESENTATIONS OF THE AMAZONIANS IN THE TALE MAIBI, BY ALBERTO RANGEL

Abstract

This article aims to show the representations of men and women in the work Inferno verde, written by the author from Pernambuco Alberto Rangel, who wrote the work composed of 11 tales, during his time in Manaus, capital of Amazonas, Brazil. The Amazon rainforest has always been the target of many foreign explorers in search of the extraction of wealth, always bearing in mind the return to their places of origin. These explorers, on returning to their countries, ended up describing the Amazon rainforest from their point of view and not from the natives, creating myths and legends that moved the imagination of hundreds of their readers, causing many to venture into the unknown forest. This article will analyze the representations of men and women built by a Brazilian in the early 20th century, in the Maibi tale. To do so, a clipping of these representations will be made.
