Acesso em: 18 ago. 2025.1516-5159e- 2317-8086https://repositorio.bc.ufg.br//handle/ri/28459This text seeks to illustrate the way two important novels from Brazilian and Angolan literatures fulfill the roll of representing certain periods of the history of these nations, or, more specifically, the history of the colonization process and its unfolding. The novels are O tetraneto Del-Rei (1982), by Haroldo Maranhão, and A gloriosa família (1997), by Pepetela. What we seek to show is the process the historical novels (LUKÁCS, 2011); (AINSA, 1991); (ANDERSON, 2007), from these two authors recover a neglected important fact to which is given a reconfiguration which generates wide and similar interpretations about the foundational history of these countries in both sides of the Atlantic.porAcesso Abertohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Literatura e históriaRomance históricoColonizaçãoBrasilAngolaLiterature and HistoryHistorical NovelColonizationBrazilArtigo10.11606/va.v25.n2.2025.204434
