Valter Hugo Mãe - As doenças do Brasil

The "white beast" nearly exterminated the indigenous peoples of Brazil. For centuries, white people killed those they could not enslave.

At some point, while fleeing, many Black people encountered the red-skinned peoples by chance, and often understanding and peace prevailed.

Valter Hugo Mãe creates two unforgettable figures for contemporary literature: Honra and Meio da Noite (Midnight), peculiar young men who, sheltered within the gentle villages of the Abaeté, establish a bond of complicity for a certain idea of ​​defense.

Honra is the fruit of a white man's violation of an Abaeté woman. He grows up, of course, humiliated by a skin that claims not to be a scar from that blow because it is a wound. It is always a wound.

This is a delicate story of resistance. An exuberant adventure of words and imagination in search of the chance for peace.
