This dissertation studies the reception of Primo Levi in Brazil based on two works Is this a man? translated and published in 1988 and Os Drowned and Survivors in 1990. Seizing Levi's work from the concept of ideal reader, we tried to analyze how the figuration of the reader favored the crossing of textual forms. And how Levi's uses of literature allow us to confront the readings carried out within the Brazilian scenario. The sources consulted were restricted to newspapers, magazines and some periodicals. Claiming that the reception cut allowed experimentations in Levi's reading, we found modulations within the literary reception, perceiving Levi as a neorealist, a court witness, a chemist, a writer until the appearance of the first criticisms in academic journals and scientific journals outlining the figuration of witness of the trauma.
