Abstract

The first texts of Joel Silveira, produced in the late 1930s, point to political concerns registered in a romantic aesthetic. This component is based on power exercised by nature in the destiny of man, as in the novel Desespero (1936) and the book of short stories, Onda Raivosa (1939). His characters are subject to the contingencies of modern life, where the population migrates from the hinterland to the cities. The plots of these stories reveal the author's commitment to social issues, especially the living conditions of the poor and marginalized. The same policy concern is present in the journalistic production, with greater emphasis in the reports, chronicles and interviews on different personalities. Hence the importance of fiction in history this intellectual who wrote during the 1940s, professionalization period of Joel, works that linked the fiction, and, above all, a journalism politically motivated (AU)
