ARTHUR AZEVEDO AND THE SOCIO-HISTORICAL VISION OF BRAZIL

Abstract

Arthur Azevedo, in his epigrams, short stories and magazines, makes a very satirical reading
of social relations in Brazil. Attentive to everything that was happening in the country, through the press, of which he was a regular reader and contributor, he reproduces, with a good dose of satire, political events and family episodes in his texts. This article intends to analyze how the writings of the writer from Maranhão dialogue with the facts and small episodes of the daily life of Rio de Janeiro and Brazil, in general. Therefore, we will use the following theorists: Friedrich Engels, Antônio Candido, Nicolau Sevecenko, L. Mallard, among others.
