HISTÓRIA E TRANSFIGURAÇÃO EM OS SERTÕES, DE EUCLIDES DA CUNHA

Abstract

The following study intends highlight a reading of the book Os Sertões by Euclides da Cunha, in which We will bring to the surface, among other critical concerns, problems of fiction, generally reflected and elaborated in the modern novel, the closed relationship between History and Literature, as well as the passage of history to the narrative-fictional . Added to this, we will discuss dessemantization of the word, emptying the code, the tropes of speech or change of direction that was focused on the facts, so we can verify as that the metaphorical aspect involves the three parts of the book, "Earth, Man and Fight. Our intention is to shed light on the literariness in Os Sertões, as the euclidean narrator driven by rare artistic talent deals with the backcountry imaginary, Antonio Conselheiro and the Republic so that we can detect certain convictions before us unfathomable in the light of the historiographical discourse, but that, using the mythical and fictional discourse, new hypotheses are suggested, as the reasons of non delivery, no surrender, heroism, fundamentalism as present in the analyzed work. Thus, we propose a possible reading in a work whose complexity analysis and discussion is an impassable ocean, inexhaustible, capable of transcending time and history itself.
