About this listen

 Journey into the heart of 19th century Brazil with Innocencia, the poignant tale of an 18-year-old girl navigating the complexities of love and jealousy in the vast, lonely prairies. Drawing comparisons to the iconic Paul and Virginie and Romeo and Juliet, this story unfolds against the backdrop of a remote landscape, where Dr. Meyer, a German naturalist in search of rare insect species, unwittingly becomes entangled in a web of emotion and distrust. Notably, Innocencia holds the distinction of being the first work by a Brazilian author translated into English, as highlighted by the translator in the preface. - Summary by LeniCopyright Culture and Heritage classics
