Alberto Figueiredo Pimentel (1869 - 1914) is a notable absence in Brazilian literature and history, especially in the history of naturalism in Brazil. Noting that the theme of naturalism in Brazil is still mis understood by historiography, this research aims to write the history of Figueiredo Pimentel as writer and author of naturalistic novels, focusing on the study of his novels O aborto, published by the Livraria do Povo in 1893, and Um canalha, published by Laemmert & Comp. in 1895, both in Rio de Janeiro. To fulfill the objective of the work, the research has raised new data about Figueiredo Pimentel and his relationship with the naturalistic esthetic, especially in the 1890s, in the collection of the Brazilian Digital Newspaper Library. Through consultations of primary sources it was possible to know the history of a forgotten Brazilian naturalist writer and the first receptions of O aborto and Um canalha by writers, critics, booksellers, publishers and the general reader.
