Abstract

Colonial texts like these are presented to us as belonging to the literary canon and sometimes as informative texts, without any artistic or literary aspect. With this work, we try to present literary traces in the colonial text Nuevo descubrimiento del Río de las Amazonas, by Padre Cristóbal de Acuña, printed in 1639, as part of the fictional construction that sustains the narrative, legitimizing the european voice and the colonization.
