The purpose of this article is to draw similarities and
explore differences between Mário de Andrade’s Macunaíma,
a hero without a character and Paulo Prado’s A
Portrait of Brazil, essay on Brazilian sadness. Published
in 1928, both books are remarkable for constant dialogue.
Andrade’s unpublished foreword reveals that he
drew inspiration for writing his fiction work from early
drafts of A Portrait of Brazil. As we will discuss it, Macunaíma
was dedicated to Paulo Prado not only out
of friendship. This brief comparative analysis of both
works provide inputs that can help us understand the
relationships between art and science, literature and
history, in general; and the construction of the Brazilian
national identity in particular.
