  <description><![CDATA[JosÃ© de Alencar's love story, which might be thought of as a Brazilian &quot;Pocahontas,&quot; tells how Iracema meets and falls in love with the Portuguese colonist Martim. Their child, named Moacir, represents the union of the Portuguese with the native people, from whom the Brazilian people arise. But, tragically, Iracema dies, metaphorically demonstrating that the cost of this union is the life of the native peoples of Brazil.  Iracema is considered the most important work of Brazil's romantic period, and one of the most important novels in the 500 years of Brazilian literature.]]></description>

    <![CDATA[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 for their own work.]]>

    <![CDATA[JosÃ© de Alencar's love story, which might be thought of as a Brazilian &quot;Pocahontas,&quot; tells how Iracema meets and falls in love with the Portuguese colonist Martim. Their child, named Moacir, represents the union of the Portuguese with the native people, from whom the Brazilian people arise. But, tragically, Iracema dies, metaphorically demonstrating that the cost of this union is the life of the native peoples of Brazil.  Iracema is considered the most important work of Brazil's romantic period, and one of the most important novels in the 500 years of Brazilian literature.]]>

    <![CDATA[JosÃ© de Alencar's love story, which might be thought of as a Brazilian &quot;Pocahontas,&quot; tells how Iracema meets and falls in love with the Portuguese colonist Martim. Their child, named Moacir, represents the union of the Portuguese with the native people, from whom the Brazilian people arise. But, tragically, Iracema dies, metaphorically demonstrating that the cost of this union is the life of the native peoples of Brazil.  Iracema is considered the most important work of Brazil's romantic period, and one of the most important novels in the 500 years of Brazilian literature.]]>

    <![CDATA[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 cenury 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 for their own work.]]>
