Sumario:This article discusses the relationship between history and literature based on the analysis of novels that address the Brazilian military dictatorship, published in Brazil in the context of the fiftieth anniversary of the 1964 coup. It analyzes how these literary narratives, combined with recent academic research, contribute to a more complex and multifaceted understanding of different aspects of the military dictatorship, such as armed combat, the support of sectors of the civil society to the regime, the exile, and the daily life during that period.
