This article analyzes the poems from the book José, by Carlos Drummond de Andrade, published in 1942, in comparative reading with the production of foreign poets linked to the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) and the international communist movements. It seeks to emphasize the proximity of themes, expressions and positioning before the world. In this light, the melancholy expressed in a remarkable way in this book by Drummond, does not seem to be the result of the subject’s perplexity in the face of the barbarism of the Second World War or the advance of the Estado Novo dictatorship, as has already been pointed out by the critics, but a frustration in the face of the momentary failure of the communist project in the Western context.
