"Has proved itself as successful in the classroom as its predecessor, Cronicas Brasileiras, due, in great measure, to the distinctive "brazilianness" of the language and to the subject matter of each historian, which in nearly all cases provides considerable stimulus for discussion. Preto-Rodas and Hower are to be commended for once again compiling an excellent textbook that lends itself to a variety of uses in intermediate Portuguese conversation and composition courses."-South Atlantic Review The editors have reproduced in their original form forty excerpts from 70 Historinhas: Antologia by one of Brazil's most distinguished contemporary writers.
