Abstract
Travel literature is a genre that combines different textual typologies and discusses the epistemological separation between ficiton and reality. These aspect make it a kind of border genre. To characterize travel literature is to think about the nature and complexity of the literary phenomenon which uses language as an intermediary between literature and reality and questions the capacity language has to represent reality. Because it is a genre in which the traveler, who is also the narrator, approaches a foreign culture, travel literature abounds with literary images of the other. Thus it is a fertile ground for studies that analyze the way a culture sees the ohter and the way discursive speech perpetuates stereotypes.
