A river imitates the Rhine

According to Rachel de Queiroz, the novel Um rio imita o Reno (A River Imitates the Rhine) was a landmark in Brazilian literature, precisely because it presented, in fiction, a culture and region previously little known to distant territories. In this book, Vianna Moog addresses social issues, providing an overview of the expansion of Nazism, and describes the integration of South Germans into Brazilian civilization.
