Abstract

The writer Osman Lins, from Vitória de Santo Antão, Pernambuco, Brazil went to

Europe for the first time in 1961, on a scholarship from Alliance Française. During his stay there,

besides studying French and being a contributor for O Estado de S. Paulo, he made a plan to

exploit, in an intelligent way, the great cultural patrimony of the Old Continent. After a period of

six months, he returned to Brazil completely engaged by everything he had seen and heard there

and decided to share his experiences with his readers. Thus he wrote Marinheiro de primeira viagem,

published in 1963. What calls our attention are not only the reports of his experiences from his

trip written in short narratives and marked by a dialogue between reality and visual, literary,

philosophical works of art, linked to day-to-day news, among other stylistic resources, but

another aspect of his work: the way he links the stories. Their relation between them is not linear,

but cyclical. Besides this mythical structure there is a reference to the myth of Orpheus that

assumes a strategic role in Marinheiro de primeira viagem, giving it an overarching poetic tone in

which form and content intertwine.
