Note: Subheading: "o Insólito Literário do Romantismo ao Fantasismo"

Synopsis: Fruit of an extensive research, "Fantastic Brazilian: the unusual literary romanticism to fantasy", by Bruno Anselmi Matangrano and Enéias Tavares, goes through almost 200 years of literary history to show that the fantastic has always motivated interest of writers, critics, editors and readers in Brazil. The book presents a journey through the great literary movements that have marked our history. From romanticism to recent fantasy, the volume discusses the various narrative modes of yesterday and today, such as various fantasies, dystopia, horror, steampunk, among others, without losing sight of the importance of those who write, publish, disseminate and study such themes in Brazil. All this to show that the unusual element has always been an important part of our literary heritage, although it has not always been valued and understood as such. At a time when fantasy, science fiction, horror and other aspects are gaining the attention of readers and critics around the world, remembering who came before and recognizing who has stood out now, becomes fundamental. After all, the fantastic Brazilian has always existed. It was enough to know where and how to find it.
