Miguel Strogoff

Huck escapes from his father and floats down the Mississippi on a raft with Jim, a runaway slave. It is narrated in the first person in a boy's voice, and the Portuguese translation works to hold that tone.

Mark Twain

Five siblings find a bad tempered sand fairy who grants one wish a day, and every wish goes wrong. The Portuguese translation keeps the author's dry humour.

Edith Nesbit

The complete text of Gulliver's four voyages in Portuguese, not just Lilliput and Brobdingnag. Beneath the adventure there is a political satire that turns sharper in the last two parts.

Jonathan Swift

Phileas Fogg bets he can travel around the world in eighty days and leaves London that same night. The Portuguese translation sustains the stopwatch pace that defines the novel.

Jules Verne
