ABSTRACT
This article intends to analyze the accounting of the trip Graciliano Ramos took to the Soviet Union and popular democracies in the beginning of the 1950s. In order to do so, it takes into account both the traces of reality observed and the reactions of the writer himself in order to understand how the militant author was able to create a form which places under discussion, indirectly, key aspects of the stalinist autocracry, which, at the time, boosted by the victory in the post-war, saw its pinnacle. The essay also recovers part of the critical reception immediately after the work was published in 1954, in the interest of laying the foundation for the analysis presented.
