Abstract:
This article demonstrates the reception of Friedrich Nietzsche's thought by the poetry of Augusto dos Anjos (1884 - 1914), a brazilian poet who publishes his single poetic work Eu in 1912. The tragic principle wherewith the poet ironically operates the masks he wears and undresses throughout his work (which works organically as a great tragic piece); the apolinean energy with which he draws the images that carry such a lacerating (and therefore dionysiac) musicality are essential strategies of Augusto dos Anjos´s poetry that certainly dialog with Nietzsche's poetic philosophy.
