Abstract

This paper discusses the thought of Ferreira of Castro and his view about the Amazonian region. The purpose of our work is to discuss the establishment of the social thought in the Amazon. The work to be viewed is "A Selva", written by Ferreira de Castro between 1910 and 1920. "A Selva" is not a scientific or academic work, but a romance, in which the author narrates experiences lived in the trails of the traditional rubber taping areas of the Amazon, marked by his own perceptions on sharp observation of the local practices that form complex network of social relationships.
