RESUMO

The purpose of this dissertation is to identify the cultural moment lived by Fialho de Almeida, together with his life and works, from there, examinee possible criticism of his work. The purpose is to evaluate the conditions he wrote and why his work promote numerous interpretations. Thus, his critical work and some novels will be analyzed, in order to understand, not only the use of features belonging to certain literary schools, but mainly, his position regarding the spread of issues faced by the society of the time, considering the influence of the authors of the Generation of 70 in his work and the harsh criticism he made years late to Eça de Queiróz. He accompanied the intense changes suffered by Portugal over the years, and sought to portray what the society wanted to hide. The literature of the nineteenth century showed the conflicts demanding bourgeois morality imposed and compelled its followers to hide. Fialho de Almeida wishes to highlight these conflicts. Therefore, it is common to find in his work degrading and unhealthy ambients in which people live in extreme poverty, diseases, addiction and degenerations. In the last chapter, based on the receipt of his novels, we try to get evidences of the reasons that led him to a secondary place in the literature of the nineteenth century
