Description: Brings together ten essays by Alexandre Eulálio (1932-1988), this unusual performer who, in the words of Antonio Cándido, was able to combine the knowledge stricter History and Aesthetics of the free creative imagination, always in search of "keys to understanding of time." Extremely sensitive to the literary construction, but also the values of the tactile and visual arts, the critic has always remained open to multidisciplinary and stimulus - as evidenced by the ten texts gathered relating to the intersection between literature and the other arts.Examples of continuous intersection between art, history, literature and chronic mundane are the three essays devoted to the reading of Esau and Jacob (1904), Machado de Assis - one of the highlights of the book - in parallel with the analysis of the monumental canvas Aurelio de Figueiredo, The Last dance of the Monarchy, 1905. The interpretive acuity for the graphic art is present even in two magisterial texts, summaries of precious life and work of painter and illustrator Henrique Alvim Correa (1876-1910) and the novelist, painter and engraver Cornélio Penna (1896-1958)
