Abstract: The work of Rubem Fonseca includes two basic subjects: violence in the urban world and the search for the truth. The city takes the shape of an intricate network, woven by the threads of violence that peameats several diverse fields. In the city - space for production and circulation of innumerable versions about only the fact - the search for the truth proves to be useless. The word is a weapon as effetive as any other, a means of prime violence: the concealment of the truth.
