Backlands

The Canudos Campaign

By: Euclides da Cunha

An important new translation of a fundamental work of Brazilian literature Written by a former army lieutenant, civil engineer, and journalist, Backlands is Euclides da Cunha's vivid and poignant portrayal of Brazil's infamous War of Canudos. The deadliest civil war in Brazilian history, the conflict during the 1890s was between the government and the village of Canudos in the northeastern state of Bahia, which had been settled by 30,000 followers of the religious zealot Antonio Conselheiro. Far from just an objective retelling, da Cunha's story shows both the significance of this event and the complexities of Brazilian society. Published here in a new translation by Elizabeth Lowe, and featuring an introduction by one of the foremost scholars of Latin America, this is sure to remain one of the best chronicles of war ever penned.

Land Without History

By: Euclides da Cunha

In the eight pieces that make up Land Without History, first published in Portuguese in 1909, Euclides da Cunha offers a rare look into twentieth century Amazonia, and the consolidation of South American nation states.Mixing scientific jargon and poetic language, the essays in Land Without History provide breathtaking descriptions of the Amazonian rivers and the ever-changing nature that surrounds them.Brilliantly translated by Ronald Sousa, Land Without History offers a view of the ever changing ecology of the Amazon, and a compelling testimony to the Brazilian colonial enterprise, and its imperialist tendencies with regard to neighboring nation-states.

Rebellion in the Backlands

By: Euclides da Cunha

Euclides da Cunha's classic account of the brutal campaigns against religious mystic Antonio Conselheiro has been called the Bible of Brazilian nationality. "Euclides da Cunha went on the campaigns [against Conselheiro] as a journalist and what he returned with and published in 1902 is still unsurpassed in Latin American literature. Cunha is a talent as grand, spacious, entangled with knowledge, curiosity, and bafflement as the country itself. . . . On every page there is a heart of idea, speculation, dramatic observation that tells of a creative mission undertaken, the identity of the nation, and also the creation of a pure and eloquent prose style."—Elizabeth Hardwick, Bartleby in Manhattan

Euclides da Cunha - Contrastes e Confrontos

By: Euclides da Cunha

A primeira edição de Contrastes e Confrontos reuniu, em 1907, artigos de Euclides da Cunha publicados originalmente na imprensa. Esses textos compõem um retrato dos primeiros anos da República, no qual Cunha expõe sua visão a respeito de figuras históricas, como o marechal Floriano Peixoto, segundo presidente do Brasil, e de questões sociais que acompanham o país até hoje, como o descaso com as secas do Extremo Norte brasileiro. A obra é uma coletânea de artigos vibrantes. Em um desses textos, intitulado “Entre o Madeira e o Javari”, o tema é o povoamento da região amazônica. Já no artigo “O ideal americano”, Cunha é ácido com o então presidente dos Estados Unidos: “Roosevelt é um estilista medíocre”. O artigo que dá título ao livro, Contrastes e Confrontos, trata da ocupação do solo pelas populações por meio das observações de Euclides da Cunha no Peru. Esses textos, além de valorosos como registro da História, trazem à luz os posicionamentos de um dos maiores escritores e jornalistas brasileiros.
