The catholic expression in French and Brazilian Literature in the beginning of the twentieth century

Abstract

This work is a brief analysis on the creation of a group of catholic writers both in France and Brazil in the twenties and thirties. Such analysis has two prime objectives: (1) to list some of the recurring themes in the fiction of these writers and (2) to reveal some resemblance which establishes a connection among these novelists, always taking into account the expression of religiosity in their texts. We hope these reflections will permit us to understand the emergence of texts which are so close within different cultures.
