This dissertation aims at analyzing the Amazonian physical environment as represented in the fictional world of three novels each by Dalcídio Jurandir (Três casas e um rio, 1958) ; Belém do Grão Pará (1960) ;and Ribanceira, 1978); and Milton Hatoum (Relato de um certo oriente, 1989 ; Dois irmãos, 2000 ; and Cinzas do Norte, 2005).A preliminary discussion of the scholarship focusing on this issue ; a brief analysis of Brazil's Northern region and its literary tradition ; and a few incursions in Brazilian literature were also attempted at this study's outset.Assisted by previous fictional representations of the Amazon in travel literature, the works by Jurandir were analyzed from a range of perspectives.The categories centering on the notion of passage and journey -as evinced in the trip undertaken by the character of Alfredo -function as a conducting device which highlights the transition between the literature imbued with a keynote of rural adaptation (of the so-called interior) to that of urban fiction.This was followed up by an analysis of Hatoum's work, especially for the following purposes : the theme of recovery and the dispute over the intimacy of the family's home ; the outline of the city of Manaus ; and the inclusion of history in fiction.With each author leaving his own imprint on the issues at stake, both are unquestionably urban writers who read and interpret this urban setting for its complexity, in addition to demonstrating how each step taken by their protagonists not only affects life within these houses, but also how this is incorporated into the family's memory
