In them we find references to entities like monsters and demons, bizarre descriptions, and odd classification systems of plants and animals. For the most part, these elements are dismissed as mere eccentricities by modern scholars studying these texts. Instead, this book takes these elements seriously. They are focused on and tackled with a theoretical tool-styles of thinking-not yet used in Luso-Brazilian studies, and coPortuguese prose literatureClassical period, 1500-1700History and criticismOntology in literatureColonies in literatureNeoplatonismHistory16th centuryOntologyHistory16th centuryBrazilDiscovery and explorationEarly works to 1800History and criticismBrazilIn literatureBrazilDiscovery and explorationHistoriographyPortuguese prose literatureHistory and criticism.Ontology in literature.Colonies in literature.NeoplatonismHistoryOntologyHistory869.09/35881Zir Alessandro1976-1567933MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786892903321Luso-Brazilian encounters of the sixteenth century3839724UNINA
