THIS STUDY approaches, through the relationship between History and Literature, the dialogue that the political Antonio Callado’s novels – Quarup, Don Juan’s Bar, Dance’s Reflexes and Sempreviva – establish with the Military Dictatorship, from a critical look on the armed resistance. In order to understand the singularity of these works and their place in resistance literature, we used the social place where Callado had his experiences (influences) and, therefore, made his aesthetic option, in order to demonstrate that his work is the fruit of mediation between Journalistic activity and fictional creation, that walked pari passu with the social and political conjuncture, allowing a reflection on the recente Brazil’s history. Beside this, Callado’s ability to carry out his self-criticism caused his works to bring to the debate uncomfortable themes for both the representatives of the Military District and its supporters as well as for the leftists: torture, censorship and arbitrariness of the Military dictatorship, as well as the fragmentation and unpreparedness of the “festive left”, who did not know how to handle arms. The way in which critics analyzed their narratives established the hierarchy between their novels (Quarup: the great novel, Don Juan’s Bar: a minor novel, Dance’s Reflexes: the best novel, Sempreviva: the maturity´s novel), so it is up to the historiographic debate to deconstruct This reading, showing that the actuality of Callado’s novels is made in the recovery of its historicity. That is, the works bring in their horizon expectations important reflections on the current political debate around democracy, shedding light on our conservative and authoritarian formation. Therefore, the contemporary debate has shown that Callado’s work has a legacy and the writer / journalist occupies an important place in it, allowing to affirm that there is a field of possibilities for the analysis of the Callado’s work from the relationship between History and Literature.
