Abstract

In this article, we observe a parallel between hygienist utopia and literary naturalism through the book A man spent: an episode of the social history of the nineteenth century (1885), by the physician from Rio de Janeiro Ferreira Leal, betting on a continuum between these textualities. It is also pointed to the place of the work in the context of its production and in the literary historiography lgbt, as it is approached the reception of the book through the first critics of the Carioca newspapers "A semana" and "Jornal do Commercio".
