"Deluxe edition ... that includes facsimile reproductions with [separately bound] Portuguese translations of the publications 'Légendes, croyances et talismans des Indiens de l'Amazone' and 'Quelques visages de Paris,' edited in France between 1923 and 1925 by Rego Monteiro ... [both of which are] considered bibliographic jewels of Latin American Modernism. The first book, illustrated in a mixture of Marajo culture motifs and Japanese orientalism aesthetically celebrates the Amazonian Indians' Tapuia and Tupi cosmogony legends and beliefs. The other ... book is a parody of the old European travelers who came to Brazil, in which Rego Monteiro sarcastically describes and reproduces the main tourist points of ... Paris"--Bookdealer's description.
