In the present study, I propose a peculiar outlook on the Brazilian modernity dilemma, through Antonio Candido’s book, "Os Parceiros do Rio Bonito". Taking the sociology of the Brazilian environmental issue as the starting point, the study focuses on the encounters between nature and modernity and suggests that Antonio Candido, approaching Sergio Buarque de Holanda’s propositions exposed in "Monções"(1945) and "Caminhos e Fronteiras" (1957), offers a unique interpretation concerning the Brazilian modernity, which is similar to what international literature has called "multiple modernities" (EISENSTAEDT, 2000; WITTROCK, 2000; TAVOLARO, 2005
