RESUMO

This paper discusses the way Literature, History, Memory, and testimony intertwine as Euclides da Cunha and Ferreira de Castro explore the Amazon. The "land with no history" and the voiceless men feature prominently in Ensaios Amazônicos (1905) and in Jungle (1930). More than themes, these are motifs for textual production. This paper examines how Euclides da Cunha and Ferreira de Castro, aiming at different objectives, end up choosing similar approaches.
