In Incidente em Antares, Erico Verissimo's novel, history and wonderful events come together to show the reality of recent history of our country, specifically the military dictatorship established in 1964. From a microcosm, the small town of Antares, Verissimo‟s fiction expands to the macrocosm, providing an allegorical reading of that historical moment. Because death gives the impunity necessary to the ghosts, the novel, written with courage and commitment, gives them powers to denounce all the arbitrariness that Brazilian people were living. Far from being a ghost story, Incidente em Antares is a political novel, which portrays and reveals Brazilian reality in a particularly difficult moment for free intellectual thought. In our studies, therefore, we used some theoretical reflections that were important for our purposes to see what mechanisms were responsible for creating these real effects, since the second part of the narrative, alone, has no reference to external reality, once unbelievable characters tell a story that also could not happen in the real world.
