Description:
Jose de Alencar's prose-poem Iracema, first published in 1865, is a classic of Brazilian literature -- perhaps the most widely-known piece of fiction within Brazil, and the most widely-read of Alencar's many works. Set in the sixteenth century, it is an extremely romantic portrayal of a doomed live between a Portuguese soldier and an Indian maiden. Iracema reflects the gingerly way that mid-nineteenth century Brazil dealt with race mixture and multicultural experience. Precisely because of its nineteenth-century romanticism, Iracema strongly contributed to a Brazilian sense of nationhood -- contemporary Brazilian writers and literary critics still cite it as a foundation four their own work.
