José de Alencar

José de Alencar was a Brazilian lawyer, politician, orator, novelist and dramatist. He is considered to be one of the most famous and influential Brazilian Romantic novelists of the 19th century, and a major exponent of the literary tradition known as "Indianism" (romantic tales of indigenous life incorporating vocabulary of Amerindian origin referring to flora, fauna, and tribal customs).

José de Alencar foi um escritor e político brasileiro. É notável como escritor por ter sido o fundador do romance de temática nacional.
