In 1890, during the transition from the Imperial era to the Republic era, a skeleton was found in the Imperial Palace. By the recent established of the republican government in the country, this discovery had high repercussion in the press giving birth to some serial romances. They were inserted in the movements for Republic that associated the republican government to the progress and the civilization, absents from the prior government. In this way, the serials produced imaginary narratives about the skeleton case, speculating about the possible reasons for the incident in the Imperial Palace. They became to the imperial past to reveal occult secrets and mysteries that justify the creation of the new republican order. In this context, we found, among others serials, O Esqueleto: Mistérios da Casa de Bragança published by the newspaper Gazeta de Noticias and written by Olavo Bilac and Pardal Mallet. In this research, we will analyze this romance, emphasizing the interconnection among press, political life and literature in the years of 1870 and 1890.
