This thesis analyzes the historiography produced by Nelson Werneck Sodré (1911-1999) until 1964, when the author was arrested and had his political rights revoked after the coup d’état. Known as a military man and intellectual of Marxist affiliation, Sodré’s production spanned over half a century, including historical works, literary criticism, memoirs and articles in the press. In this vast bibliography, the thesis focuses on evaluating the transformations that Sodré made between the historical works published in the 1930s and 1940s and his works of the 1950s and 1960s. After all, from the differences between the two sets, it can be seen that Sodré made a transition towards Marxism and the positions of the Brazilian Communist Party (PCB), whose relations with the author are dealt with in the first chapter. However, although Sodré is considered one of the main intellectuals linked to the PCB, this relationship was based on a specific era and political program, to which the author was not always close. Thus, the second chapter evaluates the works from the period before Sodré’s greater contact with Marxism, whose references present authors far from historical materialism, such as Oliveira Viana, for example. In the third chapter we analyze the author's main Marxist works and his most characteristic theses, such as the Brazilian revolution and the existence of feudal forms in Brazil. In both works, we examine their theoretical foundations and the conceptions of history embraced by the author, and Reinhart Koselleck’s reflections on the transformation of the old Historie into the modern Geschichte help us to elucidate the differences and similarities between the two phases of the historiography produced by Sodré.
