Description
Summary:The purpose of this paper is to show that in the conception of the novel Romance dA Pedra do Reino e o príncipe do sangue do vai-e-volta by the Brazilian writer Ariano Suassuna, the chivalry books and the picaresque novel, two narrative subgenres of Hispanic origin, stand out as constitutive elements. Strongly attached to a well defined notion of time and space, they go through adaptations to suit adequately the environment of the Romance dA Pedra do Reino. The author includes in his narrative an extensive collection of Northeast-centered popular cultural manifestations (in whose hybrid characteristics are stressed out Iberian traits) as catalyst and amalgam of these elements. The comparative analysis is used with the aim of identifying the traits of the gender models considered and the adaptable mechanisms employed by the author.
