A construção narrativa do fantástico em “O bugio moqueado”, de Monteiro Lobato

Abstract

Lobato's fiction permeated moments of praise and attacks, according to the social, political and cultural realities through which Brazil also passed. Its connection with children's literature and its dissemination by the mass media gave it a special value. However, irrespective of the views that may be attributed to it, Lobatian literature covered several fields, nourishing itself on telluric folklore. Along the way, he found the fantastical, though critics don't always notice it.
