- Abstract
The article focuses on the formulation of writers Euclides da Cunha and Jose Eustacio Rivera of the Amazonian El Dorado as a utopic space of wealth and progress within the nation-building projects of their respective countries. It offers a view of the Amazon on the books "A Margem da Historia" and "La Voragine." The author stresses the failure of the two authors in imposing the place as Amazon as the two revealed the complexities present in negotiating between the political and natural worlds.
