This study focuses on the relationship between History and Literature as it appears in Márcio Souza s Galvez imperador do Acre (1976). This book presents a specific moment in the history of the Brazilian state of Acre, which is neither common nor properly approached in most school books and, therefore, is not part of many Brazilian people s world knowledge. The novel portrays the political and social context of the Amazonian region at the end of the 19th century, focusing on the conquest of Acre and the historical scenery of the time. Galvez imperador do Acre, representing the new historic novel, brings a critical and questioning view of the events of the time, introducing another way of understanding the historic discourse. Built up on the basis of irony, parody and intertextuality, this novel raises questions as to the discursive construction of History in relation to the time of the novel writing. This study analyses the novel structure, taking into account the creation process and the dialogues highlighted in the quotations, headings and elements that lead to Bakhtinian carnivalization. This analysis also tries to find out the importance of the novel structure and also the implicit meanings of a fragmented-built-up Historic discourse.
