«A Teoria do Romance» is Georg Lukács's essay of literary criticism, published by Editora 34 in paperback (240 pages, in Portuguese).
Written between 1914 and 1915, the essay examines the novel as an epic form of modernity and reflects on alienation and the search for meaning in a fragmented world. A twentieth-century classic of literary criticism, this edition comes from a direct translation from German and influenced authors such as Walter Benjamin and Theodor Adorno.
The essay was originally published in 1916 as «Theorie des Romans»; this Brazilian edition is from 2000.
For readers of literary theory, philosophy and cultural criticism who want to delve deeper into thinking about the novel.
György Lukács was a Hungarian Marxist philosopher, literary historian, literary critic, and aesthetician. He was one of the founders of Western Marxism, an interpretive tradition that departed from the Soviet Marxist ideological orthodoxy. He developed the theory of reification, and contributed to Marxist theory with developments of Karl Marx's theory of class consciousness. He was also a philosopher of Leninism. He ideologically developed and organised Vladimir Lenin's pragmatic revolutionary practices into the formal philosophy of vanguard-party revolution.
