Nesta obra, composta por quatorze histórias, Alexandre empolga-se ao contar suas aventuras, que beiram o inacreditável. Os vizinhos ficam encantados, e ele só é interrompido às vezes pelo cego Firmino, que pede esclarecimentos de um jeito divertido. Alexandre, muitas vezes, mostra-se magoado, mas sempre volta a se empolgar e a empolgar os personagens que fazem parte destas histórias, como o cantador Libório, o curandeiro Galdêncio e a benzedeira Das Dores, além de Firmino e da esposa Cesária.
O narrador Di Ramon adora inventar personagens com a voz, o que deu à obra um colorido surpreendente. Ao contrário das principais obras de Graciliano Ramos, marcadas por certo pessimismo, as Histórias de Alexandre têm caráter divertido.
