Abstract

The objective of this work is to probe into Fabiano’s imaginative world, the main character on Graciliano Ramos’ book VidasSecas, the “bolandeira” image, which, among its several meanings, is known as an “improving machine”. This novel is marked by an intense social emotion and it actually narrates the tragic crossing of a family into the “caatinga” desert, which, thrown into the world, transits to nowhere, caught into the vicious circle of social misery that imprisons and reduces it into a mere object.
