    > 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:
    >
    > -- LacioWeb (Most of the fiction texts are actually from the 1800s, though
    ~1,000,000 are from the 1900s - I already have these)
    > -- Borba-Ramsey corpus (I already have ~400k words from novels/short
    stories and ~200k from plays. Unfortunately, there are no original sources
    for the text codes: PAM, BH, etc)

    > -- ELRA and Oxford Text Archive
    > -- The usual collections of e-texts (e.g.
    http://alecrim.inf.ufsc.br/bdnupill/
    &lt;http://alecrim.inf.ufsc.br/bdnupill/>; , http://www.bn.br
    &lt;http://www.bn.br>; [Biblioteca Digital],
    http://www.bibvirt.futuro.usp.br/index.php
    &lt;http://www.bibvirt.futuro.usp.br/index.php>; ). Most of these texts
    are from 1800s, and are usually very similar texts at each site.
