| Sumario: | Between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the Portuguese practically dominated the world routes of navigation. Embarking and living – somehow – related to overseas travel was not for a few. Instead. It was for many. The population of Portugal at that time, about 1.5 million people – 280,000 earlier and 360,000 at the end of the century – about 25% walked or were shipped directly involved in the business of shipping. This paper analyzes three tragic-maritime reports between 12 collected by Gomes de Brito. The choice is because they have a direct relationship with Brazil. As discussed below, the selected texts – dealing with pain, fear, death and survival – have journalism evidence, such as objectivity, clarity and information. At the same time, contain essential ingredients of literary journalism as subjectivism, literary strategies, detailed scenes and environments and the relationship between reality and fiction. All, however, it seems to make true the narratives. And believable fiction. |
