Graciliano Ramos, in his literary works, always did a search into human s soul , as Antonio Cândido said. Such searching is done through psychological and social views, with the support of the literary language. However, the language used by the northern writer is distinguished: he legitimates the northern language, showing to the reader what the peoples from this place could say, think and ponder in many situations. Among Graciliano s literary works, we intend to tell about some analogous topics on the first four published books: Caetes (1933), Saint Bernard (1934), Anguish (1936) and Barren Lives (1938) are books we can find literary connection between the author and the characters; the Graciliano s severe self-criticism; the analysis about humane and their social local; the ideological conflict; and the language s power. However, the last subject is analyzed with emphasis on the two last books because, in our reading, the writer focuses the combination between the language and human beings in their social place. In this way, we are going to try helping the studies about Graciliano s literary works for extending the knowledge about northern literature in Brazil.
