This research intends to work briefly on issues concerning the relationship between translation and culture, discussing the place of a well-characterized Amazonian literature inserted in a debate about literature itself as a dynamic and heterogeneous system. To this end, firstly the sociocultural and political role of translation, on a more general level, and, more specifically, how to bring Amazonian literature to a nonperipheral place within the Brazilian literary polysystem will be addressed. We understand that there are some translation choices that are better, to do justice for the cultural nature of the chosen texts, since our position is supported by a translation theory which believes that a translation competence into a second language is possible and effective. The translations of the three Amazonian legends, from Brazilian Portuguese to English, namely, "As Amazonas", "Ajuricaba" and the "Lenda de Mani" we intend to contribute to the expansion of Amazonian literature and to the field of translation and culture studies, as well as to the dissemination of the Amazonian culture itself.
