ResumoI have chosen this title because it represents a question which floats over the existence of literariness in authors from State of Amazon.Literariness, from Jakobson's viewpoint, is the number of proprieties which characterizes the literary language.In this regard, the literary text distinguishes itself for the fact of transforming realities and for use it as model to create "fantastic" worlds, which exist only in the texts, once they set up themselves through metaphors, caricature, allegory, and likelihood.Formalists declare that the object of literary science must be studied from the specific particularities that differentiate the literary objects of all other subject.There is a book, written by the poet Jorge Tufic, which raises that same question, and finally responds: "there is a lost language which must be recovered" to better understand that we can be a new research and creativity field.I have chosen then, for this study, three tales of the writer Arthur Engrácio to discuss this question.It is aimed at contributing, in a general way, to the knowledge of the literature produced by Engrácio, as well as to extend it to other perspectives heretofore little studied.
