The fundamental aim of this dissertation is the analysis of two imprisonment memoirs, namely: Memoirs of Prison (1953), by Graciliano Ramos, and Memoirs of a survivor (2001), by Luiz Alberto Mendes. Each one of these memoirs has its own uniqueness, since the first tells us the story of a writer who was imprisoned during President Getulio Vargas’ dictatorship, and the second one tells us the life story of an “ordinary” man who becomes a writer in prison during the military dictatorship. As a theoretical foundation, we have the critical studies on both works as reference. In Memoirs of prison, we will study how the narrator relates to the other in prison and the stylistic resources used in his memoirist narrative. In Memoirs of a Survivor, we will look into how the narrator re(creates) his childhood in crime, until he reaches adult age, as well as the emergence of a criminal who falls in love with culture and literature from his contact with books in one of the most difficult periods he experiences in prison.
