This article approaches the importance of José Calvo González’s contribution to the formation of a Literary Culture of the Law in Brazil. Internationally recognized as one of the main exponents of studies in Law and Literature, with extensive and consistent academic production since the 1990s, Calvo González regularly visited Brazilian institutions, between 2010 and 2019, a period in which he developed several activities and kept very close relationship with some researchers, especially from Rede Brasileira de Direito e Literatura. This article analyzes eight of his lectures, all presented at the International Colloquium on Law and Literature, as well as other relevant scientific activities carried out by him. The relationship between Calvo González and Brazil was quite intense and could be interpreted as a two-way street: on the one hand, his presence and interaction enabled constant dialogue, opening paths that led us to important and innovative projects in terrae brasilis; on the other hand, the expansion and diversity of investigations in Law and Literature in Brazil also were inspirational and encouraging for Calvo González’s own thinking. In conclusion, it is possible to state that Calvo González was certainly one of the greatest characters in the history of Law and Literature in Brazil, like Warat was in the 1980s and 1990s.
