Published in 1910s, time of Brazilian modernization under the ideals of progress, eugenics and bourgeois civility, Eu (book of poetry) and Urupês (selection of short-stories) explore elements which are avoided by official literature from those times; elements as the social contradictions of the country, the spots of barbarity impressed in history and the sordid side of human condition. In Eu and Urupês, these themes receive literary form under a frank and eventually brutal language which uses the grotesque and the irony to building a shockingaesthetic which maximum realization is the motif of monster. In Eu and Urupês (particularity in the short-story “Bocatorta”), the monster´s body become a privileged allegory of the History, that express the critic of these oeuvres to the contradictory process of Brazilian modernization.https://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/Outra/article/view/46565MonstroGrotescoAlegoriaLiteratura brasileiraBelle époque brasileira
