{"product_id":"iracema-9780195115482","title":"Iracema","description":"Jose de Alencar's prose-poem \u003cem\u003eIracema\u003c\/em\u003e, 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\u003cbr\u003elive between a Portuguese soldier and an Indian maiden. \u003cem\u003eIracema\u003c\/em\u003e 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\u003cbr\u003enationhood--contemporary Brazilian writers and literary critics still cite it as a foundation for their own work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e José de Alencar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/16\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.54w x 0.58d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195115482\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2000 pg. 157\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40078471299187,"sku":"9.7802E+12","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_1c5ba36a-62ab-4d15-a6f3-979dc161befd.jpg?v=1652191108","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/iracema-9780195115482","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
