Abstract
The intellectual universe of Eidorfe Moreira (1912-1989) covered different manifestations of thought. As Amazonia profoundly marked his work, Eidorfe Moreira, a disciple of cultural geography, developed fields of study that were quite illustrative of his formation and in which cultural geography and history gave direction to his major works. The presence of Father Antonio Vieira (1608-1697) in Belém captured his attention, especially the sermons that he preached in the city’s parish church. Eidorfe Moreira had read authors, such as João Lúcio de Azevedo, Raymond Cantel and João Francisco Lisboa, in order to argue for the importance of eloquence – and politics – in Vieira’s sermons.
