Abstract

Adolfo Caminha, a cearense novelist, very astute in his creations, when approaching outside the literary canon as the homosexuality described in Bom Criolo of 1895, his work went beyond sexual issues, solidified in a collection of social practices in which we will discuss in this job. The intention is to show that this work is not just about an affective-sexual relationship, however, the author brought us as a backdrop other themes such as misery, crimes and character deviations, a striking characteristic of the naturalistic exaggeration that the author deposited in your work. The main objective of the present work is to present this naturalistic exaggeration in the work mentioned above, based on the analysis of the corpus, as it is remarkable the intention of the author who, since the name of the work, already exposes one of the main characteristics of the movement in which he participates. , and also in comparisons of the work Bom Crioulo with other works such as O cortiço by Aluísio Azevedo and Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert, analyzing journalistic publications of the time and comments by some renowned critics such as Valentim Magalhães and authors like Émile Zola, and Alfredo Bosi among others.
