RESUMO

The main goal of this dissertation is to understand the changing of themes in João de Minasliterary work (pseudonym of the journalist Ariosto Palombo, 1896-1984), author of 12 books published in 1929-1936. The methodology used was to analyze the themes of his stories, searching how the writer configured the literary "world of the work", that show us the choices and the main themes used by the writer in that time. Several changes in the themes of his literary work concern the impact which the "1930s Revolution" had in his life. For João de Minas, due to his ancient links with Paulista Republican Party, the "revolution" brought a feeling of a social displacement that lead him, since 1934, to treat critically of history, society and politics of his time. That feeling affected the authors literature: he stopped writing about a far and unknown reality of wilderness or support oligarchic established regime, which lasted until 1930, and began to reflect distant and ironically about customs and problems of urban life. Unattached to PRP, João de Minas was free to draw what he saw as the obscene in political and social life of the great cities.
