| Abstract | |
This study aims to investigate the configuration of a \"tragic perception of the world\" in the work of the writer Rubem Fonseca. To do so, in each of its four chapters a short story considered exemplar regarding this configuration is examined. They are Madona (from A coleira do cão, 1965), O pedido (from Feliz ano novo, 1975), Mandrake (from O cobrador, 1979) e Meu avô (from Pequenas criaturas, 2002). The title of this dissertation was chosen based on the three main aspects of this setting that are found in the short stories and that, combined, give these texts its tragic dimension. (AU) | |
