Abstract

This paper discusses the ways in which Travel Books was incorporated into the Brazilian historiography, giving you countless images of Luso-Brazilian cities, serving as a mirror of otherness, which built the first European traveler's identity by reversing its civilization described in the Luso-Brazilian barbarism, on the other, giving a foreign, supposedly neutral, to historiography, as well as a historical method, through the text of Von Martius, How should to write the history of Brazil.
