Abstract

French journalist and traveler Max Leclerc was sent to Brazil in December 1889 to write about the newly installed Republic for the "Journal des Débats" of Paris, one of the most influential journals of France. The collection of articles was published in 1942 by Editora Nacional, in book form, translated by Sergio Milliet, entitled "Cartas do Brasil". Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the writings of Max Leclerc about the crisis of the Empire and the establishment of Republic in Brazil. The analysis also includes his views on the Brazilian society and "national character".
