摘要：Friedrich Gerstäcker, the German traveler who spoke to the emperor Dom Pedro Though the 19th century German writer and traveler Friedrich Gerstäcker visited Brazil twice, his work is still unknown by Brazilian researchers. The aforementioned writer was the subject of my Phd research and originated the book ‘Brasilien ist nicht weit von hier!’ Die Thematik der deutschen Auswanderung nach Brasilien in der deutschen Literatur im 19. Jahrhundert (1800-1871). To German readers Friedrich Gerstäcker is commonly considered a writer of adventure literature. However, we cannot include his work in this type of literature when considering his publications about Brazil. Therefore, this paper presents Gerstäcker’s work regarding Brazil, aiming to make his publications better known in our country.
