Manaus, Brazil Bret Wallach Focus 35:1 (January 1985): 8-11. A thousand miles from its mouth, the Amazon splits: bear left, on the white-water side of the river, and you're heading for Peru; bear right, on the dark waters of the Rio Negro, and you're on the way to Venezuela. This is the site of Manaus, population one and a half million. You stay on the right, hugging the north shore of the Negro; you pass a few radio towers, a ferry terminal, an oil depot, and within a mile you see the highrises that crowd the downtown. Visitors familiar with other Brazilian cities may not be surprised Brazilian cities are thick with highrises but for newcomers to the country the skyline is a shock, rising as it does from the middle of the world's greatest rain forest. The Amazon at Manaus is deep enough for ocean-going vessels, and the city has a new port busily handling containerized shipments as well as bulk freight; the adjoining turn-of-the-century customs house, an immaculately restored granite castle, overlooks a stream of trucks squeezing into downtown traffic. A hundred yards downstream an awkward term here, for the Negro is too huge and sluggish to have a visible current there is another and far more primitive dock for domestic traffic. The best view of it is from the top of the massive granite wall, thirty feet high, that is the river's bank at high water. When the river is low, a fifty-foot skirt of river bottom stretches out filthy with paper and tires, cobbles and sewage to a low embankment, just big enough to walk on and stay out of the muck.

43. Brazilian Literature the uprising of a group of religious fanatics, depicting not only the society but also the geography, geology, and even zoology of the brazilian backlands. http://www.terravista.pt/PortoSanto/1086/literature-br.html

B razilian Literature, writings in the Portuguese language produced by inhabitants of Brazil. Three ethnic groups have contributed to the shaping of this literature: the native Indians, the transplanted Europeans, and the blacks, who were brought from Africa as slaves. The resulting cultural mosaic was given unity by a common tongue. Throughout the centuries after Portugal began (1532) to colonize Brazil, the Portuguese language established the particular character of Brazilian literature and the intimate relationship of the literature with that of the mother country. The history of Brazilian literature parallels that of other Latin American literatures; influenced by European thought and culture, it is readily divided into two periods, the colonial and the national. Colonial Period th century, in sermons rich with rhetorical devices and polemical exaggeration. Contemporaneous tendencies in Spain and Portugal were reflected by the satirist Gregório de Mattos Guerra (1633-96); his work ranged from delicate lyricism to outright vulgarity. By the second half of the 18 th century the literary hegemony passed from Bahia to the vigorous mining town of Minas Gerais. Of the several epics originating with this group, the outstanding was Uruguay (1769) by José Basílio da Gama (1740-95). This verse narrative deals with the war of Spain and Portugal against the Uruguayan missions. It depicts Indian life and customs with sympathy and even sentimentality. Friar José de Santa Ritta Durão (circa 1737-84) also belonged to the Minas Gerais school; his epic Caramurú (Sea Dragon) celebrated the discovery of Bahia. Although few masterpieces were written in the colonial period, the growth and economic betterment of the country permitted more Brazilians to turn to a career in letters.

Map Brazil Dateline: 11/09/97 (Rev. 10/18/00) Brazil (maps) is the fifth largest country in the world; in terms of population (163 million) as well as land area.* It is the economic leader of South America, with the ninth largest economy in the world, and a large iron and aluminum ore reserve. The Brazilian city of Sao Paulo is the third largest in the world with more than 22 million people. Physical Geography Political Geography Brazil encompasses so much of South America that it shares borders with all South American nations except Ecuador and Chile. Brazil is divided into 26 states and a Federal District. The state of Amazonas has the largest area (600,000 square miles or 1.5 million square kilometers) and the most populous is Sao Paulo (about 35 million inhabitants). The capital city of Brazil is Brasilia, a master planned city built in the late 1950s where nothing existed before in the Mato Grasso plateaus. Now, more than 1.9 million people reside in the Federal District. Urban Geography Two of the world's fifteen largest cities are in Brazil: Sao Paulo (17 million) and Rio de Janeiro (10.1 million), and are only about 250 miles (400 km) apart. Rio de Janeiro surpassed Sao Paulo's population in the 1950s. Rio de Janeiro's status also suffered when it was replaced by Brasilia as the capital in 1960, a position Rio de Janeiro had held since 1763. However, Rio de Janeiro is still the undisputed cultural capital (and major international transportation hub) of Brazil. Sao Paulo is growing at an incredible rate. The population has doubled since 1977 when it was an 11 million people metropolis. Both cities have a huge ever-expanding ring of shanty towns and squatter settlements on their periphery. Salvador is Brazil's third largest urban area with a population of about 4 million people.

BRAZIL FOR TOURISTS Topography The landscape of Brazil is dominated by two prominent features, the Amazon River with its surrounding lowland basin of 1,544,400 sq. miles (4.000,000 sq. km) and the Central Highlands, a plateau that rises southward from the great river. Most of the Central Highlands consists of a tableland varying in altitude from 984 to 1,640 feet (300 to 500 meters) above sea level, broken by a number of low mountain ranges and cut by deep valleys. The highlands ascend steeply in the east forming an escarpment, where several peaks attain an altitude of 8,202 feet (2,500 meters) or more, and then drop precipitously to a narrow Atlantic coastal plain. A network of high moun tain ranges runs from the south of the country to the northeast forming a continental divide between the Atlantic Ocean and the interior. Brazil's highest peak, Pico da Neblina, reaching 9,888 feet (3,014 meters), is in the north, close to the Venezuelan border. Rivers History Literature Brazilian Arts Brazilian Cuisine ...

BRAZIL FOR TOURISTS Like the hamburger and the banana split in the United States, Brazil's cuisine is the product of tradition and happenstance. Each region of Brazil - depending on its indigenous culture, which European group colonized it, nearness to rivers or the ocean annual rain and soil conditions - developed its own very diverse dishes. Food The cuisine from Bahia dates back to the time of slavery when the masters saved scraps from the table or leftovers from the previous day's meal to give to the slaves. Some slaves were allowed to fish and look for shrimp and clams. Remembering their cooking-pot training from Africa, the women would put bits of ingredients together and add the milk of coconuts or the oil from the dendê palm. Over the years these concoctions were worked out in recipes and were given names. Today it is called Bahian food. Some of its delicacies are: Vatapá: Shrimp are either cut up or ground together with pieces of fish, then cooked with dendê palm oil, coconut milk and pieces or bread. The dish is served over white rice. Sarapatel: The liver and heart of either a pig or a sheep are mixed with fresh blood of either animal; tomatoes, peppers, and onions are added and everything is cooked together.

Its 23 kilometers of urban beaches areamong the best in Brazil, boasting a brilhant turquoise acean that is nearly pristine and warm enough for bathing newborns. Feware aware that the UN have declared it the second greenest city in the world. And only a few more recognize it is Brazil's third oldest city, replete with exquisite architecture. Up to date but hardly publicized statistics also make it the safest capital in the region. It has a rich colonization history, which includes Frech, Dutch, and Portuguese. These European influences can be seen in some of their unique architecture.
