O comportamento ético de seus habitantes e tudo o que diz respeito à identidade e ao convívio entre brancos, caboclos e índios eram seus temas prediletos. Numa das cartas que me enviou de Colônia escreveu algumas páginas intituladas " O olhar e o tempo no Amazonas". Afirmava que o gesto lento e o olhar perdido e descentrado das pessoas buscam o silêncio, e são formas de resistir ao tempo, ou melhor, de ser fora do tempo. Ele procurava contestar um senso comum bastante difundido aqui no norte: o de que as pessoas são alheias a tudo, e que já nascem lerdas e tristes e passivas; seus argumentos apoiavam-se na sua vivência intensa na região, na ' 'peregrinação cósmica de Humboldt", e também na leitura de filósofos que tateiam o que ele nomeava ' 'o delicado território dó alter".
O que me fez pensar nisso foi a coincidência entre certas passagens da vida de outras pessoas, que mescladas a textos orientais ele incorporava à sua própria vida. Era como se inventasse uma verdade duvidosa que pertencia a ele e a outros. Fiquei surpreso com essas coincidências, mas, afinal, o tempo acaba borrando as diferenças entre uma vida e um livro. E, além disso, o que surpreende um homem hoje deverá surpreender, algum dia, toda a humanidade. '' 80 << ' Após a morte de Emir, Dorner partiu para uma viagem de anos.
Ao meu redor todos ainda dormiam, de modo que presenciei sozinho aquele amanhecer, que nunca mais se repetiria com a mesma intensidade. Compreendi, com o passar do tempo, que a visão de uma paisagem singular pode alterar o destino de um homem e torná-lo menos estranho à terra em que ele pisa pela primeira vez. Antes das seis, tudo já era visível: o sol parecia um olho solitário e brilhante perdido na abóbada azulada; e de uma mancha escura alastrada diante do barco, nasceu a cidade. Não era maior que muitas aldeias encravadas nas montanhas do meu país, mas o fato de estar situada num terreno plano acentuava a repetição dos casebres de madeira e exagerava a imponência das construções de pedra: a igreja, o presídio, um oü outro sobrado distante do rio; é inútil afirmar que não havia palácios; estes, faziam parte das invenções de Hanna, o mais-imaginoso entre os irmãos do meu pai; lá na nossa aldeia, o rabo descomunal de um carneiro servia-lhe de estímulo para que contasse um mundo de histórias; os mais velhos o escutavam com atenção e o patriarca de Tarazubna, cego e surdo, intervinha com uma palavra ou um gesto nos momentos de hesitação, quando algo escapa à fala.
