Abstract

Caçada da Onça, published by Monteiro Lobato in 1824, did not get to be part of Reinações de Narizinho book published in 1931 as the result of the blending of several small books published by Lobato during the 1920's and the beginning of the 1930's. Caçada da Onça has been enlarged and renam d by the author becoming in 1933, Caçadas de Pedrinho. This dissertation discusses the transition from A Caçada da Onça to Caçadas de Pedrinho comparing their editions, relating them to different moments of their author¿s biography and socio-historical env ent and, finally offering an analytical reading based on formal and thematic aspects of Caçadas de Pedrinho (AU)
