EnglishThe purpose of this article is to try to establish that the history of the reception of Nietzschean thought in Brazil started in the Northeast of the country. Therefore, we try to demonstrate this hypothesis based on a careful analysis of some of the first productions in which Nietzsche appears, published by Brazilian authors. They are productions signed by the Northeastern Tobias Barreto, Joao Ribeiro, Clovis Bevilaqua and Araripe Junior.
