Overview

On a very broad level, this work sought to articulate a connection between the theme of the human and cultural reality of the sert�o with the long literary period in which Guimar�es Rosa wrote the short stories of Sagarana, at a time when the modernization of Brazil, a country in many ways still archaic, was being sought. The aesthetic novelties developed by the writer in the backlands led literary regionalism to be recognized by the academy after its publication in 1946. What's more, due to Rosa's autonomous approach, regionalism has a place in the literary consciousness of the intellectual milieu, focused on the man and the cultural values of the population of the region addressed. The concept of regional literature is recognized and valued as an integral and representative index of Brazilian literature. With nature as his witness, Guimar�es Rosa creates in Calango Frito an image long sought after in Brazilian literature, a synthesis of historical, aesthetic and social reality - an image of Brazilianness.
