RESUMO
This present work aims at an analysis of Paulo Prado`s reflexion, centered, above all, in his Retrato do Brasil: ensaio sobre a tristeza brasileira. Intending to demonstrate that the negative picture of the national formation built by Paulo Prado, instead of configurating a skeptic and apathetic work, shows itself as a great bulwark of a high and contestant behavior of the genius. The perception of the ruins, as well as his later attempt of overcoming or constructing a new national identity, comes out as a vehement criticism of the sinful origins of the brasilidade. His work draws a new horizon for the country, because of his Will of surpass and innovation, and summarizes an effort of abruptly breaking with the past that manifests itself as a burden for the national modernization.
