Abstract

This research aims to analyse the novel "Cinzas do Norte", by Milton Hatoum, published in 2005. The work puts in question the nature of novel in contemporary literature. The starting point is the hypothesis that "Cinzas do Norte" is not a fragmentary narrative and uses traditional elements in its structure.
