Abstract

The first choreographic movements that marked the arrival of the first Industrial Revolution, the fields are present in fiction Olha para o céu, Frederico! Jose Cândido de Carvalho, published in 1939. Seeing a bird in the fiction that lands in the real, watch it and then zigzagging flights imaginary horizons and plant a different reality, we understand that the inaugural work carvalhiana is not naive. It preserves the memory of a time marked by an economic clash between the stills in the process of decay and the plants that eating sugar cane trucks and trucks spewed smoke through their chimneys, signs of progress. The narrative has as supporting the ‘told me – told me’, 'said the Boulevard, the corner of May 13 Street and looks discreet little or nothing of the scouts in the press that everything recorded in the columns of "Monitor Campista."
