Abstract

This article is an interpretation of the novel by Jorge Amado Terras do sem fim. The analysis seeks to highlight the perspective of the novel about the countryside. An appeal to this interpretation was the construction of a typology of analysis called narrative limitation. This construction allowed us to develop a typological understanding of the novel structures and expressive currents of thought in the period on the rural world. The article highlights how the narrative associates the rural areas as one of the causes of violence and impossibilities of development and liberation of individuals.
