AfranioCoutinho (1959) discusses the philosophical background of Machado de Assis, pointing to the writer’s affiliation to Montaigne and Pascal. His reflection is utilized in this work to carry out some similarities between Michel de Montaigne’s Essays and the crônicas of Machado de Assis’ series “Bonsdias!” [“Good morning!”]. To that end, are thought as genres in which these writers develop their writing projects, the essay and the crônica. Montaigne is present in various ways in “Bonsdias!”, including the thematic confluence. As we could saw, the role of Montaigne in Machado’s formation is not restricted to spiritual attitude; there is a necessary step for literary creation.

In view of the literary and artistic value expressed in the fictional work of Darcy Ribeiro, we propose to rescue Darcy Ribeiro as a novelist. From this perspective, this work aims to present the critical reception of the anthropologist-novelist from the 70s, 80s and 90s to the present. With regard to Latin America, Haydée Ribeiro Coelho (2000) states that Darcy Ribeiro is one of the greatest intellectuals of the twentieth century. In this conjecture, we propose an analysis of artistic and literary creation in Maíra, with the intention of presenting the darcynian fictional universe and likewise establish this novel’s relations with the changes that affected the Brazilian society in the period of its publication. Thus, it is essential to resume the ideas addressed by the writer of Minas Gerais exposed in his novel with the intention of establishing a possible concatenation of his thought with the contemporary literary review.

In the Cartas Perto do Coração (2001), a collection that gathers the letters exchanged between Fernando Sabino and Clarice Lispector, we analyze the processes that involve the writing of himself these authors, from the conception of "autobiographical pact," postulated by Philippe Lejeune. In this study, based on the idea of "file self" proposed by writer Philippe Arties, we will discuss the letters as a vehicle for creating subjectivity and poetic image of the self. We will check how Fernando Sabino and Clarice Lispector take ownership of the literary discourse, offer themselves to the gaze of another, and so they build their images from their daily lives. We will work, too, how the authors were open to examination of conscience shared with the corresponding and thus contemplating their lives and also their artistic creations. Through the letters, we reflect also on the similarities between the composition of their characters and themselves, because we understand the charts as deposits marks the initial impulses that gave rise to books of Clarice and Fernando, in which character and author was confused in the structure of the text.

We would like to present throughout this paper the Chilean writer María Luisa Bombal, still almost unknown to the Brazilian academic public and common readers. Her work, brief and stirring emerged in the Chilean literary map as one of its most important spots. Her tale “The tree”, from 1935, holds its due place in many Latin American Contemporary short story anthologies. I hope to establish a parallel between her and Clarice Lispector´s first production, although some distances between them have to be recognized. These two Latin American authors´ s trajectories never crossed during their live times, even though their biographies led them parallel roads. Among their characteristic themes, motives and procedures one can draw a line that joins them in a surprising and happy manner.

The text "As Aventuras de Diófanes - máximas da virtude e da formosura" was assigned to Alexandre de Gusmão for a long period, but it was actually written by Teresa Margarida da Silva e Orta and it is involved in the controversy regarding the novel appearance in Brazil. Considered by many specialists as the first brazilian novel, this text brings a concept of nobility distinction which dialogues with its main contemporary philosophical and political tendencies. At this article we analyze how Silva e Orta relates the notions of meritocratic nobility (Verney) and the ideals of heroic nobility (Matias Aires) and also advocates that the great men of science should be honoured as a step to society's moral elevation.
