{"product_id":"9780195115482","title":"Iracema","description":"\u003cp\u003eJose de Alencar's prose-poem \u003ci\u003eIracema\u003c\/i\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 live between a Portuguese soldier and an Indian maiden. \u003ci\u003eIracema\u003c\/i\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 nationhood—contemporary Brazilian writers and literary critics still cite it as a foundation for their own work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47007195791600,"sku":"9780195115482","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780195115482_p0.jpg?v=1763663993","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780195115482","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
