This article intends to discuss a conception of North-American society, formulated atthe beginning o f the twentieth century, but extremely present-day because of the enormous
and permanent influence o f its formulator, Monteiro Lobato, a Brazilian author and essayist, who has written a vast literature for children and adults. Here I intended to show that the risks of an utopia becoming “totalitarians fictions”, as José Saramago advised in the last World Social Forum, was very well understood by Lobato when he looked at the paradox that is to base oneself in Nietzsche and to accept a model of society as something desirable. The opportunity of this return to Lobato is the possibility of reflection about our ambivalent relationship with “America” that sometimes appears as a desirable objects, sometimes as something that we should deny.
