If the twentieth century was marked by two world wars, the 21st century was no better than its predecessor in terms of horror and violence. Consequently, art couldn?t fail to be contaminated by all of this. Thus the postmodern literature emerges, which resumes past tragedies in order to shed a new light on the catastrophes of the present. One of the most representative works of this new literary movement in the 21st century is Extremely loud and incredibly close, Jonathan Safran Foer? second novel, published for the first time in 2005. In order to clarify the relationship between Literature, History and traumatic events, this work aims to examine the way in which the North American author represents these facts and their subjective consequences in the novel Extremely loud and incredibly close, based on concepts of psychology, history and literary theory. / Alguns historiadores apontam que os atentados terroristas de 11 de setembro marcaram o in?cio do s?culo XXI. Se o s?culo XX foi marcado por duas guerras mundiais, o s?culo XXI n?o deixa nada a desejar em termos de horror e viol?ncia quando comparado a seu antecessor. Consequentemente, a arte n?o poderia deixar de ser contaminada por tudo isso. Assim, surge a literatura p?s-moderna, que retoma trag?dias passadas a fim de lan?ar uma nova luz nas cat?strofes do presente. Uma das obras representativas desse novo movimento liter?rio no s?culo XXI ? Extremely loud and incredibly close ? em portugu?s, Extremamente alto e incrivelmente perto ?, segundo romance do escritor Jonathan Safran Foer, publicado pela primeira vez em 2005. Com o objetivo de elucidar a rela??o entre a Literatura, a Hist?ria e os eventos traum?ticos, este trabalho busca examinar a maneira como o autor norte-americano realiza a representa??o desses acontecimentos e suas consequ?ncias subjetivas no romance Extremamente alto e incrivelmente perto, tendo como base conceitos da psicologia, da hist?ria e da teoria da literatura.
