"Aspectos da realidade silenciada do sertão nordestino no romance Vidas Secas de Graciliano Ramos"

Abstract

This monograph seeks to understand and analyze the novel Vidas Secas (1938) by Graciliano Ramos, in an in-depth analysis, thus highlighting the moment when the work was written, focusing on the phases of Modernism, forming a parallel between the modernist movement and the importance of this literary movement in the life of the author. The main objective of this work was to emphasize the main aspects of the work Vidas Secas, as well as Fabiano's stance in the midst of his overwhelming world, being a northeastern retreatant who lives in constant effort for a dignified life. Another relatively important point in this research refers to “drought”, which, in a broader view, realizes that this factor does not happen only for geographical reasons, but refers to the lack of public policies, social injustice and the government's neglect with the lower classes, becoming not only a literary work, but a social denunciation
