Abstract

The AustrianOtto Maria Carpeauxand the GermanErich Auerbach, authors, respectively, of História da Literatura Ocidentaland Mimesis: a representação da realidade na literatura ocidental, contemporary works that dialogue with each other in many ways, have many characteristics in common. Jews and intellectuals, both authors had to leave Europe to save their lives. The great works that the two writers produced were born in the bitterness of exile: Auerbach, in Turkey, far from the Germaniclibraries; Carpeaux, in Brazil, writing in an unknown language. Moved by the humanism learned in a Europe in ruins, their works are structured by a universalist notion of literature, the Weltliteraturformulated by the polymath Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. In addition to biographical approaches, this article aims to discuss the methodological convergences between the two authors in their works, as well as to develop some concepts proposed by literary critics like Antonio Candido, Alfredo Bosi and Franklin de Oliveira.
