The present study intends to concentrate, especially in the analysis of the novel Vida e morte de M. J. Gonzaga de Sá and bring some contribution with regard to the relationship of this work with aspects of modern romance, as well as the identification of narrative procedures that specify features of the realism of Lima Barreto, steeped in the experience of modernity in Brazil. In this course, we seek to reveal the dynamics that is created between city and subjectivity in linking with the individual memory and the consequences for the completion of the narrative. We carried out an initial approach to historical topics such as the origin of the novel, the formation of the reading public in England and Brazil and conceptions of realism that pervades the novel form, in order to understand and identify the place of Lima Barretos works in the history of literature. Presented is also a correlation of conceptions of history and memory, which can be glimpsed in the novel studied, from theoretical studies of selected works of Friedrich Nietzsche and Walter Benjamin
