Stolen rain and other stories from Amazonia

Brimming with tales from the Brazilian Amazon, this book invites you to explore the spiritual essence of the people it talks about. Through the lens of religious scholar Reginaldo Prandi, it brings to life stories that have traveled by word of mouth across this fascinating region. Within its pages lie ancient indigenous myths, offering a glimpse into the worldview of the land's original inhabitants. It also weaves together folk tales where indigenous cultures blend seamlessly with those of European settlers. What’s more, the book doesn't shy away from depicting the harsh reality of how nature is treated by a civilization built by Europeans in this still enigmatic territory.

The book, translated from Portuguese by a team of young translators led by Šárka Grauová and vividly illustrated by students from the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design under Juraj Horváth's guidance, includes a glossary to immerse you deeper into the Amazon's rich realities.
