    I'll keep my eyes opened... however, I must inform you that, according
    to Brazilian laws, copyright holds until 70 years from the author's
    DEATH. So, you will only find documents of authors who died before 1934
    (or from those who allowed the texts to be published on the web).

    Nevertheless, you might find something interesting in:
    http://virtualbooks.terra.com.br/ (here they give links to other virtual
    libraries as well)

    > I'm in need fiction texts from Brazil from the 1900s. They can't be from Portugal, they can't be from before 1900, and they have to be literature (novels, short stories, or plays). I've already tried the following sources:

Most of these texts are from 1800s, and are usually very similar texts at each site.
