This paper focuses on some textual and discursive aspects of the Guimarães Rosa´s story “A hora e vez de Augusto Matraga”, concerning to description sequences and its role in the configuration of the fictional space. We discuss a narrative matrix whose spatial and temporal structures reveal a trajectory towards the human being redemption – a kind of initiation journey, marked by the mystic of an ascetic life. The analyses also points to the recurrent themes of violence and religiousness that support the narrative tension, straightly related to the protagonist conflicts. Violence and religiousness express the initiation journey paradoxes. Our methodology adopts theoretical contributions of the Pragmatic Linguistics and the Textual Analysis of the Discourses.
