Description
This book presents an overview of Amazonian history and analyzes the novel Cycle of the Far North, by Dalcidio Jurandir, a work that represents the social inequality and exclusion inherent to Amazonian society. Willi Bolle rescues the work of this important, albeit unknown, author, emphasizing Dalcidio Jurandir’s contribution to our understanding of Amazonian culture. In his work, Jurandir describes the quotidian of those living in the periphery of society, and advocates, quite emphatically, quality education for the poor. He also registers the social dialect of the inhabitants of the Amazon, in a document of the cultural memory of the region.

Author Biography
Willi Bolle was born in 1944 in Germany. In 1966 he came to Brazil to study the country in light of the novel Grande sertão: veredas. In 1968 he obtained his graduation in literature from the University of São Paulo, and in 1971 his doctorate from the University of Bochum, Germany, with a dissertation on the narrative technique in the short stories of Guimarães Rosa. Since 1977 he is a professor of German literature at USP, and a full professor since 1990. He was a guest professor at Stanford University, Free University of Berlin, Unicamp, UFPE (Recife) and UFPA (Belém). He also graduated as an actor from the School of Drama of USP. Between 2009 and 2014 he produced stage adaptations of novels by Dalcídio Jurandir with a group of professors and students from the outskirts of Belém. For this work he received in 2014 from the State Legislature of Pará the honorific title of “Citizen of Pará”. He published, among others, the books Physiognomy of the Modern Metropolis: The Representation of History in Walter Benjamin (Edusp) and grandesertão.br: The Novel of the Coming of Age of Brazil (Duas Cidades and Editora 34).
