João Guimarães Rosa is considered one of the exponents of the third Brazilian modernist movement, characterized as a regionalist writer who departs from the backcountry of Minas Gerais and transcend it to the a magical and poetic sphere, through a syncretic poetic prose. In that sense, the artistic career of his work was followed by later modernists who sought to portray Brazil's country side, and innovated in language and literary approach. Addressing the contrasts issues of Brazilian reality and the cultural diversity of Minas Gerais, the writer provided a deepened inquiry into the regional themes while created a new artistic form, in the way he addresses the culture in innovative treatment of language through the linguistic regionalisms and neologisms. Thus, this is the mineiro cultural framework which the writer collects the raw magic materials that sets his narrative, as in tales São Marcos and Corpo Fechado, present in his first book, published in 1946, Sagarana, both objects of study this work.The way the writer discusses religion and magic in these two tales configures his style in the literary category proposed by the English scholar, William Spindler, it is called anthropological magical realism, one in which the narrator seeks a magical consciousness of the characters, even though there is an ambiguity regarding whether or not to believe in magic, this awakening comes from the mythical tradition. Hence, in João Guimarães Rosa works the legends and local superstitions collected not only in the habits and religion of the Minas Gerais people as well as the local nature allow an aproach with magical realism with the formal treatment the author uses on his texts, such as the choice of narrators and space,the former being the current of contemporary literature of João Guimarães Rosa that was developed mainly in Latin America in the 1940s
