Iracema (Portuguese Edition)

Iracema is one of the three indigenous novels by Jose de Alencar. It was first published in 1865. The story revolves around the relationship between the Tabajara indigenous woman, Iracema, and the Portuguese colonist, Martim, who was allied with the Tabajara nation's enemies, the Pitiguaras. Through the novel, Alencar tries to remake the history of the Brazilian colonial state of Ceara, with Moacir, the son of Iracema and Martim, as the first true Brazilian in Ceara. This pure Brazilian is born from the love of the natural, innocence, culture and knowledge and also represents the mixture of the native race with the European race to produce a new Brazilian race."
