Abstract

This article aims to discuss Wilma Peres Costa's Entre tempos e mundos: Chateaubriand e a outra América from three subjects related to my academic formation: 1. travel report as a heuristic instrument to history writing; 2. the (dis)order of time in Chateaubriand's work; 3. in order to build the conclusion, I recapture the assumption of the author as a loser who never dies.
