The Wall

Book Review by: Mahendra Yadav     

Original Author: Dinah Silveira de Queiroz
This abstract was translated from La Paroi
Bloody fights between last white and Indians, whole
villages with the wire of the sword. Attacks, turns,
ambushes:
there is blood in the ways. A world enters the
cross and the arquebus. Duels in splashed streets:
hunters of men, drill-of - disavowed law and mongrels
present their weapons. Hidden treasuries, oaths of blood,
gold and curse - yes, friends, Brazil had his faroeste!
Very front, and with more action, of which in the United
States. What Brazil did not have was an industry I eat
Hollywood to produce mythology starting from the history
itself. Writing by Dinah Silveira de Queiroz (1910-1982)
published in 1954, the Wall plunges in the primórdios of
century XVI and in it leads them to the heart of the
darkness of São Paulo de Piratininga, with the capital of
terrible bandeirantes. Epic vigorous on the birth of a
nation, with any passion, gleam and blood on which never in
they did not speak them in the school.
