Abstract (lang="eng")
Travel literature has given to the Amazon imaginary a profusion of images that have been used for regional literary fiction and for its own history over the centuries, mainly during the 19th century, when exploration expeditions multiplied in the region. As an example, we can mention the Eldorado myth, present in several reports about the region, from Carvajal (1500-1584) to Henri Coudreau (1859-1899), which was the subject of research by scientists like La Condamine (1701- 1774) and Humboldt (1769-1859), or even by the historian Ferdinand Denis (1789-1992). This essay aims at analyzing in which way the imaginary about the Amazon present in the travel stories has reverberated in the 19th century regionalist fiction.
Abstract (lang="por")
A literatura de viagem forneceu ao imaginário amazônico uma profusão de imagens que serviram de matéria para a ficção literária regional e para sua própria história ao longo dos séculos, principalmente no século XIX, momento em que as expedições de exploração se multiplicaram na região. A título de exemplo, podemos citar o mito do Eldorado, presente em vários relatos sobre a região, de Carvajal (1500-1584) a Henri Coudreau (1859-1899), e que foi tema de investigação de cientistas como La Condamine (1701-1774) e Humboldt (1769-1859), ou, ainda, do historiador Ferdinand Denis (1789-1992). O presente ensaio tem por objetivo analisar em que medida os imaginários sobre a Amazônia presentes nos relatos de viagem reverberaram na ficção regionalista do século XIX.
