The scream is the protagonist of Fogo Morto, tenth novel by José Lins do Rego. Under him or around him, the life in the Engenho Santa Fé, stage where take place the stories of master José Amaro, Colonel Lula de Holanda and Vitorino Carneiro Cunha, is impregnated with a fate characteristic of those who, motionless and weak, watch the approaching of the end, without being able to do a thing. The reason of the segregation is also the spirit of a community feeling. The junction revelates the impasses of a fragmented world that, by a strange dialectic, insist on resisting against the destruction of an unlike, but always longed for, about turn in the sequence of events.Downloads
