He is author and editor of several publications on politics and underground culture. In addition, he develops illustration and photography works. The book Fantastic Amazon is the product of a broad research that took more than six years to be completed.
Fantastic Amazon gathers stories from Indians, riverine populations, fishermen, and even from the urban population, in order to introduce readers to the unusual and amazing world of the myths, legends, and mysteries of the great tropical rainforest. Fantastic Amazon rescues old oral tales born in the heart of the jungle and told from generation to generation. It also unveils the more recent mysteries that culminated in countless expeditions into the forest. Together, past and present give shape to the current collective unconsciousness in the Amazon and navigate through its waterways, crossing our borders ahead and beyond.
