%X This article¡¯s goal is to notice the feuilletonistic elements present in the novel O Mulato (1881), written by Alu¨ªsio Azevedo. Noticing these elements requires a more detailed analysis over Uma L¨¢grima de Mulher (1989), the fisrt novel written by the same author, which will serve as a paradigm of feuilleton typical elements among the Brazilian writer¡¯s literary work. The conceptions evidenced in this first novel would have left feuilletonistic vestiges in the following pieces of work written by Alu¨ªsio Azevedo, even after the author¡¯s effort on purging these vestiges by rewriting his novels and/or affiliating his novels to the aesthetic conception of Naturalism. If in his masterpiece O Corti o (1890) Alu¨ªsio Azevedo seems to have achieved the goal of purging the feuilletonistic elements, the same doesn¡¯t seem to have happened in O Mulato, even after it had been rewritten by the author, in 1889. Therefore, the effort of the present article is trying to comprehend one of the steps in which Alu¨ªsio Azevedo¡¯s literary project has been through, drawing heavily on the analysis of these two last novels.
