The present work aims to present and compare the stories of two books in which orality, writing and translation intertwine to echo Brazilian indigenous voices in France and in Brazil itself. The words spoken by shaman Davi Kopenawa were recorded, transcribed and translated from the Yanomami language and registred in writen French by Bruce Albert in the book La chute du ciel: paroles d’un chaman yanomami (2010) and translated into Portuguese with the title A Queda do Céu: Palavras de um xamã yanomami (2015) by Beatriz Perrone-Moisés. The indigenous intellectual Ailton Krenak had his words spoken in Portuguese recorded in format in the book Ideias para adiar o fim do mundo (2020), which a few months later was translated into French by Julien Pallotta with the title Idées pour retarder la fin du monde (2020b).
