I-Juca Pirama, by Gonçalves Dias: summary, analysis and about or author

Or poem I-Juca Pirama, by Gonçalves Dias, is a Brazilian romantic icon. The work, Indianista, is divided into ten songs. Published in 1851, I do not book Last songs, or poem and composed by 484 verses starring Indian hairs from tupis and timbiras.

I summarize

Quem tells history and a velho timbira that it was proven that it happened and resolved to recount the facts. O cenário do poem written by Gonçalves Dias é a Brazilian forest, já our first verses are located in the middle of the forest: "I do not have pleasant greenery, fenced with logs - hedges of flowers".

As the first creatures to be presented are the Timbi Indians, known as brave warriors. Years ago, the Timbira Indians captured a Tupi prisoner of war, or the two Timbira project was to kill him. At the end of the third song, a two Indians will call for a prisoner to appear and tell a little of his life history. O guerreiro answered assim:

Meu song of death,

Guerreiros, ouvi:

Sou filho das jungles,

Nas jungles cresci;

Guerreiros, descending

Da tribo Tupi.

A long year of the fourth song, we became aware of the history of the Tupi Indian: the wars that he assisted, the places where he passed, the family that he surrounded. Or pai de him, um velho blind and tired, or accompany for all sides. Or filho was a kind of guide, who always led.

Despite being internally dependent, to prove his honor, the captured Tupi Indian is placed at the disposal of the tribo timbira to serve as a slave.

Either chief of the tribo timbira, ao ouvir, or narrative of the prisoner, he orders to release him immediately, stating that he is a great warrior. Or you say that he leaves, but that, when he is dead, he will return to serve.

O guerreiro finally found a dying country and told what happened. Either velho decides to return as filho for the tribo timbira and thanks or chefe pela generosidade de o ter freed, embora peça that the ritual is fulfilled and or filho is punished.

O chef da tribo refuses to continue in front and justifies that o cativo é um covarde, pois el chorou diante dos imigos e da morte. As it was either flat to eat prisoner meat, or chef feared that his Indians would turn out to be covardes as well as captured tupi.

Or country surprised with revelation feita cacique hair because you are not choram, except there are two others in front, and amaldiçoa or filho:

We do not find love for women,

Your friends, be your friends,

Tenham fickle and deceitful soul!

We will not find a day, no day,

Nem as cores da aurora ameiguem you,

E among the larvae gives a gloomy noite

Never have rest to enjoy:

We can't find a trunk, a stone,

Post ao sol, post as chuvas e aos ventos,

Suffering the worst torments,

From possas to fronte pousar.

Finally, renega or own filho: "You, coward, meu filho não és.".

To prove that he is strong, courageous, and to be worth his honor, or filho turns, sozinho, against a tribo timbira inteira. Or pai barnacle, hair som da battle, that or filho fights bravely. O chefe da tribo, so, intervene and ask that the conflict be closed. Pai e filho, finally, they reconciled.

What was Gonçalves Dias?

The Brazilian writer Antônio Gonçalves Days was born in the interior of Maranhão, in 1823. Because he is a filho of a Portuguese merchant with a Brazilian mestiça, he has access to education and the logo sent to Portugal. He studied in Coimbra and was trained in Direct.

No period in which he remained abroad, he had the opportunity to meet great Portuguese writers such as Almeida Garrett and Alexandre Herculano. While in the country he composed his most well-known work, a Canção do exílio.

Minha terra tem palmeiras,
Onde sings or Sabiá;
So birds, that here gurgle,
Não gorjeiam como lá.

Nosso céu tem mais estrelas,
Nossas várzeas têm mais flores,
Our forests have more life,
Nossa vida mais loves.

Em cismar, sozinho, à noite,
Mais prazer found eu la;
Minha terra tem palmeiras,
Onde sings or Sabiá.

Minha terra tem beauties,
That I have not found here;
Em cismar - sozinho, à noite -
Mais prazer found eu la;
Minha terra tem palmeiras,
Onde sings or Sabiá.

Deus do not allow him to die,
Sem que eu turned para la;
I know I enjoy the beauty
That I did not find here;
Sem qu'inda sees as palmeiras,
Onde sings or Sabiá.

When he returned to Brazil he held public office and, in 1848, he moved to Rio de Janeiro, where he was professor of Latin America and History of Brazil at the Pedro II College.

As a literary author he wrote poems and plays. He died in 1864, when he returned to Brazil after a season in Europe. Either ship or writer was encased and shipwrecked.

I-Juca Pirama e o Brazilian romanticism

I suppose that the epic poem I-Juca Pirama had been written between 1848 and 1851, or I am certain that the child was released without Last Cantos (1851) and belongs to the first phase of Brazilian romanticism.

The title of the poem means "or that he must be dead, and that he is worthy of being dead."

Or romanticism began in the first goal of the XIX century and, not the case of Brazil, it was divided into three great gerações. Gonçalves Dias belongs to this first phase, which has as its main objective to enhance or to be national. Either Indian was considered or great hurt of the movement. In his writing, the author also sought to exalt the natural beauties of the country and to reveal a sentimental tom, typical of romanticism.
