This thesis aims to investigate the relationship between life and work of Raymundo Nogueira de Faria 's intellectual and the care of young people "disinherited to fate", considered potentially dangerous to society. It deals with the intellectual Nogueira de Faria, his life and work, in articulation with the project thought and instituted by him of educational assistance to children and young people "disinherited of luck", submitted to crime, and had as problem question: What relations are there between the life and work of Raymundo Nogueira de Faria and the service to the "disinherited of luck" in the State of Pará, Brazil, South America, in the first half of the 20th century? The general objective was to analyze, through Cultural History and Intellectual History, the relationship between life and work of Raymundo Nogueira de Faria and the phenomenon of juvenile delinquency with a view to the historical understanding of the care given to the "disinherited of luck" in the State of Pará in the first half of the 20th century. Methodologically, it is a thesis based on the analytical assumptions of Cultural History and Intellectual History, and is therefore a historical, documentary, qualitative approach. The primary sources searched were the books, personal journals and notebooks of Nogueira de Faria and the periodicals that make up the collection of the "Rare Books Section" and the "Microfilming Sector" of the Cultural Foundation of Pará, respectively. The collected data indicate that this intellectual, when implanting a reformatory colony on the Island of Cotijuba, an insular part of the municipality of Belém, state of Pará, Brazil, South America, was in tune with a worldwide thought that saw in the creation of establishments of internment compulsory, away from urban centers and highly watched, the ideal solution to deal with the phenomenon of juvenile delinquency, but differs in thinking about a project to be demanded by justice, based on the idea that it would differentiate young "disinherited" , that is to say, devoid of satisfactory economic and moral conditions, of the delinquents of free will. In this way, the State should give them an educational service centered on morality, civics and work. The thesis we defend is that this proposal, organically linked to the life story and the intellectual history of Raymundo Nogueira de Faria, stems from a doctrinal formation founded on Spiritism that made him believe that his mission was to materialize his project of "Man of Good”, transforming the "disinherited of fortune", which he referred to the Reformatory Colony of Cotijuba, considered by him the Island of Redemption, in men worthy, patriotic, working and useful to the Fatherland.
