Hatoum, Milton, 1952-
Orphans of Eldorado / Milton Hatoum; translated from the Portuguese by John Gledson. - Edinburgh : Canongate, 2010. - 164 p. ; 22 cm. - Myths series . - Myths (Canongate Publishing) .
The setting for this magical fable is Eldorado, the Enchanted city that inhabited the fevered dreams of European navigators and conquistadors, but eluded all attempts to find it on the map. Some have linked it to Manaus in the Amazon Basin, and it is here that Arminto Cordovil lives with his father Amando in a white mansion. Orphans of Eldorado is a rich and magical fable that beautifully captures the atmosphere of the steamy, lush Amazonian world.
Translated from the Portuguese.
