This work deta in the third novel of the Extremo-Norte cycle of Dalcídio Jurandir: Três
casas e um rio. In it, one investigates itself from two overlapped planes, namely: the
popular imaginary and the symbology pointed out by Furtado (2002). Therefore,
through an analytical and interpretative reading, the research has as a general
objective to investigate symbology, as a mechanism that articulates the meanings of
human drama and to verify the imaginary as an aspect close to the fantastic. In addition
to this, we have as specific objectives: to understand the symbolic structure of the
narrative and the fantastic strand in its rhythm and form of its events, as a key factor
of reading the work; to analyze particularly the symbology configuration relations as a
striking metaphorical mechanism and the fantasy process of the protagonist, an
eleven-year-old boy, as another symbolic game; to verify, in the seventh chapter of the
narrative how it establishes the unusual events. The literary text of Dalcídio,
considered for a long time by the critical reception as regionalist, goes beyond this
representation. In this work, the marajoara exhibits social ills and human questions in
a singular way and produced, in Chapter VII, a narrative universe with manifestations
common in the strands of fantastic literature. Such traces are observed, especially, in
the scenes where the kingdom of Marinatambalo appears, a place that sharpens the
imagination of the residents of Cachoeira and Alfredo, protagonist of the cycle. The
mentioned research becomes relevant because it will bring a new look on the
production of literature of Amazon expression through all its symbolic aspect. For that,
the study was based on the theoretical premises of the concept of symbolism from
Sigmund Freud (2017), Chevalier and Gheerbrant (2003) and Northrop Frey (1973).
And the notion of fantastic literature by Tzvetan Todorov (2014) and David Roas
(2017).
