This article investigates the first surrealist avant-garde expressions in Brazil, from the short stories F-1 (1923) and As mortes de Nero: ou o perigo das deduções (1924), written respectively by Sergio Buarque de Holanda and Prudente de Moraes, neto, the editors of Estética (1924-1925) modernist review. Based on the scientific fiction The Time Machine by G. H Wells, both authors surpass the verisimilitude and structure of the narrative to create authentic time-travel fictions outside of science, in which a certain anachronism between present, past and future, stands out, as well as they both discuss the shock of avant-garde invention before public opinion. By the analysis of the short stories and the contexts of their publication that these early surrealist experiences cannot be understood as mere adherences to a certain poetics, such as that of André Breton’s manifestos, but come from a plural aesthetic and a considerable heterogeneity of ideas.Downloads
