This paper aims to map the construction of the Rio de Janeiro in the
nineteenth century travel literature. Starting by the analysis of what are
the travel accounts and how such descriptions allow the formulation
of a certain idea of Brazil that began to circulate in the Atlantic World,
I intend to scan which image of the Rio de Janeiro was built in the
narratives of those foreigners. For this, I tried to leave the quotes
“speak for themselves”, other words, I tried to restore the voice to
these individuals, with the expectation to rebuild - even partially - and
question what foreign travelers, after all, had to say about the events
that they were involved.
