RESUMO
The dissertation The Horla Return studies the critical and creative reception of Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893) in Brazil, the most representative French storyteller of the 19th century. This writer was read, translated and commented in newspapers Gazeta de Noticias, Correio Paulistano, Jornal do Commercio, O Estado de São Paulo (A Provincia de São Paulo, up to 1889), between 1880 and 1921, as well as in the main critical and bibliographical studies of Brazilian Literature historians, which compose the corpus of this research. Its presence is also found in ficcional works in the period which includes Brazilian Realism-Naturalism and Pre-Modernism, of which the story books of Monteiro Lobato (1882-1948) are examples. This corpus, here analysed and interpreted, discloses diverse readings made for the various critical current in vogue in Brazil. It has as background literary or nonliterary criteria, stimulated for the vast production and internal variety of the work itself and by the knowledge difusion of authors life. It is allowed here, therefore an additional moment of critical reading of this writer, depicted through the eyes either forgotten or unknown of Guy de Maupassants scholars.
