Abstract

This paper aims to the contrastive reading of the narratives of A selva (1930), by Ferreira de Castro, and of Selva trágica (1956), by Hernâni Donato. Taking as starting point the novel of Luso-Brazilian writer, we seek to establish the senses production that his narrative provokes, sharpening the reader perspective in comparison with the novel of Brazilian writer for they are vigorous narratives denunciation in an extractive context of the jungle. Hence that by comparative perspective in a reflection of thematology, both the aesthetic proposals have shown itself as of great productivity both for its historic-social project and for the sense elements that result in fruitful narratives whose relationship text vs. context reveals the topicality and the relevance of the narratives analyzed.
