This essay studies the trajectory of the naturalist novel The abortion, by Brazilian writer Alberto Figueiredo Pimentel, starting with its first appearance as a feuilleton at Niterói’s newspaper Provincia do Rio, attaining great commercial success when published in book format, in 1893, by editor Pedro da Silva Quaresma, up to its complete later disappearance. The essay also highlights markers of adherence to the Naturalist aesthetics in its associated space, as well as in the internal circulation of texts and selfreferentiality.Downloads
