Abstract: Told from the first-person perspective of protagonist Madarejúwa and written down by journalist Thomas Fischermann. The work lets us accompany the young warrior on the hunt for wild boars and monkeys and in the fight against jaguars and anacondas, to mystical places, rituals, and festivals. Fischermann's adventurous expeditions with the Tenharim clearly show us what the forest means to the young man and his people: when nature dies, so does their culture. From the forest they get their food, their natural remedies, their identity, and their spirituality. A first-hand experience of an ancient understanding of the balance between man and nature.
Notes: Personal narrative.
