José Maria Ferreira de Castro was a Portuguese writer and journalist.
At age 12, he immigrated to Brazil, where his work at a rubber plantation for the following four years would be the inspiration for his most famous book, A Selva (1930; The Jungle; filmed 2002 - http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0210971/).
He returned to Portugal in 1919, and started working as a journalist. He was a noted oppositionist to António de Oliveira Salazar.
He was also famous for his travel literature, namely his book A Volta ao Mundo, recounting his travels around the world in the outset of World War II. ...more

“Sim, a selva era bela, majestosa, mesmo deslumbrante. E era rica, havia de ser fantasticamente rica também, mas um dia – um dia que vinha ainda longe. Entretanto, toda a sua grandeza esmagaria, toda a sua deslumbrância seria volúpia do primeiro contacto, logo desvanecida pela monotonia; e os anónimos desbravadores iriam caindo, inexoravelmente, sob as febres, trespassados pelas flechas envenenadas, desvairados pela ausência do amor – escravos, pobres, miseráveis, ali onde a natureza erguia as suas mais fastigiosas pompas!”
― Ferreira de Castro, A Selva
