Abstract

Separated by a short period of time, the novels Sonhos d'ouro (1872), by José de Alencar and A mão e a luva (1874), by Machado de Assis, converge when dealing with the theme of social ambition amidst an historical scenario marked by the liberal ideal. In this project we suggest a reading of these works, relating each other in their similarities and disparities, and taking care to constantly insert them into the intellectual debates identified in the press of that time. Along the way, we intend to investigate the possible dialogues, borrowing and reciprocity that might have influenced the authors' experiences. And more specifically, we'll tackle the conception of Guiomar character's profile, whose fate is marked by the desire to rise.
