Abstract

The main purpose of the thesis is to research on the making of the novel Crônica da casa assassinada by Lúcio Cardoso (1912-1968), a writer from Minas Gerais State, Brazil. The book's writing process is reconstructed trough the examination of the original drafts and the critical edition, published in 1991 by Coleção Arquivos. Interviews with the author, excerpts from bis personal joumal, bis mail and other fictional works of bis, some of wbich unfinished, contribute to this discussion as well. The novel is understood also as part of a greater project idealized around an imaginary town: the small Vila V elha located in the Zona da Mata region, in Minas Gerais (AU)
