Description
- Abstract:
- City images in the works of Machado de Assis and Lima Barreto are contrasted in this essay, as well as the lives of the two writers in nineteenth century Rio de Janeiro. The issue is how their attachment to the city and certain of its places leads them to a metamorphosis of spaces, going from iconic to symbolic ones, loaded with connotations.
- Imagens da cidade nas obras de Machado de Assis e Lima Barreto são contrastadas neste ensaio, assim como as vidas dos dois escritores do Rio de Janeiro no século XIX. A questão é como o seu apego à cidade e a alguns dos seus lugares os leva a uma metamorfose de espaços, indo dos icônicos aos simbólicos, carregados de conotações.
