José de Alencar (1829–1877) was a cornerstone of 19th-century Brazilian literature, celebrated for works like "Iracema" and "O Guarani" . These novels often highlighted the clash between indigenous cultures and colonial forces, using historical fiction to critique societal issues. If "As Pelejas de Ojuara" is indeed a lesser-known work or a reimagined version of "O Juara" , it would fit Alencar’s genre of literatura de cordel (popular Brazilian storytelling).
