Jorge Amado, crônica e ativismo

Abstract

In Jorge Amado, politics and literature go together and make the novelist live intensively as the press man and the militant. Starting from the chronicles published between 1942 and 1944, in the section “Hora da Guerra”, the Bahian newspaper O Imparcial, and recently assembled in a book, this present work undertakes a reflection on the writer as an organic columnist and an intellectual – compagnon de route of most utopia of his time
