- Authors
ARLINDO, CAROLINE; ALVES VALENTE, THIAGO
- Abstract
The aim of this article is to present a comparative analysis between the books Sangue Fresco (1982), by the author for children and young adults João Carlos Marinho (1935—), and Gargantua and Pantagruel (1532-52), by Renaissance French writer François Rabelais (1494-1553), electing the intertext as a means of appropriation of this Western literature classic by the Brazilian author. Anchored on Bakhtin's study Te Popular Culture in the Middle Ages and in the Renaissance (1987), we seek to understand the contribution of reading and revisiting Rabelais' work in a text of high aesthetic quality which has young adults and children as its target audience. Humor, nonsense, hyperbolism, among other characteristics, permeate the adventures of Fatty's bunch, whose relationship with Rabelais's narrative substantiates its insertion in the best tradition of the Brazilian and Western literature for children and young adults.
