És mi, magyarok milyennek látjuk Brazíliát?

A magyar nyelvű sajtó Brazília-képe a 19. század első felében

Absztrakt

Although the image of Brazil had been present in the Hungarian con sciousness since the middle of the sixteenth century, when Miklós Zrínyi published a pamphlet entitled A török áfium ellen való orvosság („The Remedy against Turkish Opium”), it was only after the Portuguese royal family relocated to Rio de Janeiro and Brazilian independence aspirations unfolded that more attention was paid to the South American country. This study focuses on the representation of Brazil in the Hungarian press, analyzing articles from the end of the eighteenth century to the end of the 1850s.
