Traveler literature includes a historical-documentary function and a double articulation: the intimate one and the self-centered one as a result of the ideology of the narrator author; thus, from this premise, an analysis about William Vincent Wells Book (1982) has carried out, Explorations and Adventures in Honduras.
This study, has tried to conceptualize the different perceptions of the traveler regarding to an alone reality but focused from the following subject matters: the distinct perceptions of a reality and the imaginaries and the country interpretations, from the economic and social aspect.
In this studio remains demonstrated that William V Wells´s book, the history and literature provides data to approach through a philological study to the society in a certain period of time.
