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.
