Beschreibung

Legends of Amaraji and Other Stories by Aldivan Torres is a rich tapestry of folklore, memory, and personal reflection woven across the landscapes of Pernambuco and beyond. From enchanted forests and haunted railway stations to heartfelt conversations and philosophical musings, this collection invites readers into a world where myth and reality intertwine.
Through tales like The Fairy of Coastal Trays, The Ghost of the Railway Station, and A True Love in an Ancient Civilization, Torres revives the oral traditions of Brazil’s interior, capturing the soul of towns like Amaraji, Angelim, Araripina, and Arcoverde. But this book is more than a journey through legends—it’s a meditation on identity, spirituality, and the human condition.
With poignant reflections on love, faith, resilience, and social justice, the author shares his truth: “I am a plural being... I respect all races, all religions, all ideologies and sexualities.” These stories and declarations form a mosaic of lived experience, offering readers both wonder and wisdom.
Whether you're drawn to magical realism, regional history, or introspective prose, Legends of Amaraji and Other Stories is a heartfelt tribute to the places and people that shape us—and the legends that keep their spirit alive.

Why does society and religion condemn gay people?

"We are so small, so fragile. We are in God's hand, but many find themselves very much."

"We have to be happy with what we have. Seek what you can, work for it, and God accomplishes it."

"I've never been discouraged by mean or negative comments. You have to believe in your ability."

"I am a great spirit, I am in Christian celebrations, in spiritism centers, in African terraces, I am everywhere. No one is superior to me, and no spell breaks me. I am the light of the world."

"I respect all races, all religions, all political parties, all ideologies and sexualities. I am a plural being."

"Here is the great truth. God's love is unconditional. Father-mother love is strong, but conditional. Brother's love exists, but not with everyone. Love of relatives is called affinity. Friends are rare."

"I've lost almost all my dreams over time."

"There's no point in wanting to be like Jesus. We are not saints. There's only Jesus forgives, and we can't. "

"Anyone who doesn't eat grass with me today doesn't deserve to eat cake with me in the future."

"I thank all the teachers who were part of my career. You are the professional base of everything. An affectionate embrace."

"I went to a doctor's appointment. And the man treated me super well. For you to see, we work to eat well, dress well, be healthy. It is our right. That's why I value the work."

"Never depend financially on anyone. If your relative is rich, but it is his. He has no obligation. Help if you want."

"It is a great illusion to expect love from others. Being happy is your responsibility."

"Nido was enthusiastic about football. He even traveled by truck to participate in tournaments. "

 

 

 

 

 

 

Legends of Amaraji

The legend of banana plantations

 

There was a large banana plantation in Amaraji near a stream. They were banana trees full of great fruits and very vivid. Three workers took care of the plantation daily and received wages deserved for it. At night, they would take part in the garrison against possible invaders.

What they did not know was the danger they were running. Mapiançu was an entity of the forests of Amaraji. This entity materialized in the form of a giant man with a square head who swallowed the bananas without ceasing. Seeing that there was a large plantation in the area, the entity decided to manifest itself and attacked the plantation. As soon as he did that, the guards ran because of the amazing monster.

They returned hours later, with a large crowd to try to drive out the monster. But he was no longer and had already swallowed the entire plantation. It was a million-dollar loss from the owner. This news spread throughout the region creating the legend of this giant.

The fairy of coastal trays

 

Many years ago, Amaraji was a great paradise. There was a prosperous and harmonious kingdom of angels, elves, fairies, and other fantastic creatures located on the coastal board. In contrast to this, there was a kingdom of darkness on the south side of Amaraji, inhabited by demonic creatures.

In order to destroy the peace of the creatures of good, evil beings have invaded the kingdom of good. The good ones reacted and so began a fanatical war that was destroying everything little by little. It was a total and criminal devastation. A fairy, seeing himself in a tricky situation, made a white magic by the end of the war.

The light entities acted and sealed a peace agreement. Everything returned to normal despite the losses of the war. On the coastal board grew magnificent flowers as a sign of great happiness. The fairy was crowned as the great savior of everyone's life. And so, everything was fine.

 

Legends of Angelim

 

The Ghost of the Railway Station

 

It was the year 1890. The city's train station was the arrival point of tourists in the city of Angelim. The city grew a lot with the movement of people, shops and industries that settled. It was good times of prosperity in the interior of the state of Pernambuco.

The legend of the ghost of the railway station has emerged. He was a legendary monster from colonial times who had once again haunted the city. He was a giant man figure with two heads and four arms. This creature used to attack women and rape them. The people of the city were terrified.

Two groups of ten men went hunting the animal. They staked the station for two weeks, but nothing was found. Then they discovered that it was a fanciful legend, the fruit of a writer's imagination. Then peace once again came to the city.

 

 

 

The sage of the district of Palm tree

 

 

Joshua was an ancient Indian from the Palm tree region. He had learned from his parents all kinds of magic to win in life. Divine went to visit him in order to learn something.

Divine

Noble wizard, I would like to talk to you for a while. What is the meaning of life?

Joshua

Living is a big challenge for most people. I see life as a majestic mountain where a climber walks a path. At the beginning of the road, the mistakes we make bring us enough learning to see what our role is in the world. The right ones make us question who we are and what we should do. But we are not always satisfied with the efforts that have been released. So, we seek in religion a kind of support for our anguish. But the solution of our problems lies within ourselves, in our inner strength. We often get more anxious and stuck with rules that do not satisfy us. Because our destiny is to be free.

Divine
