RESUMO

Elaborated on the sign of nonconformism and driven by the ideal of a militant literature, Lima Barreto s work depicts at the same time the acute contradictions of Brazilian society in the first years of republic and the adversities of personal life of this author whose biography is a living symptom of those same contradictions that comprise his texts. If diaries reveal a most personal dimension of Lima Barreto offering a biographical outline to a reading of his fiction, circumstantial pieces of writing is seen as a kind of ideological outline in which the author by means of militant texts points the finger at inequalities of Brazilian society at his time. In this way, comprised by immediate historical determinations e by biographical circumstances, Lima Barreto s writing give voice to silent protest of underdogs, modulated by revolt of injustice and by melancholy of unsuccessfulness
