SUMMARY:

Lêdo Ivo was a devotee of landscape, especially that of your homeland, Maceió, for whom
he harbored a sense of rootedness, something that he made a point of making explicit in
his literature. The capital of Alagoas was frequently present in the poetic daydreams of the
writer, where he remembered the images of childhood and adolescence, period in which he
lived in the city that had emerged from the maceiós, full of names of water. This process
of reencountering an affective geography meant that his work was marked by an
expressive knowledge of the landscape of his birthplace, a knowledge that is the result of
one's own experience in the ecumene. Thus, this dissertation analyzes the landscape of
the city of Maceió in prose with a long narrative by Lêdo Ivo, especially Ninho de cobras
and Confissões de um poeta, contemplating a vivid mosaic of colors, gestures, smells,
sounds and metaphors that convey the personality of the city in the first half of the 20th
century. Following the principles of a cultural humanistic geography, strand of space
science that recognizes the knowledge of discourses and the arts as holders of a
geographical material laden with significant, The Maceio’s landscape of the Ledian pages
was hermeneutically appreciated not only as a representation of the real, but as a
constructed territory and a space of sensitive experiences. Therefore, the landscape, the
city and the novel can be read and, in this sense, the work of Lêdo Ivo is like a guided
tour through the streets of Maceió, describing the daily life, the polysensory experiences
and the social tensions that are striking in the city. Thus, he, who coined famous epithets
for his land such as “peninsular city”, in addition to contributing to the rhetoric of the
Maceio landscape, bequeathed to generations an inventory of the forms built by a people
and a testimony of the lived space, creating a collection of characters that represent the
society of Maceió well, with its multiple ways of being and being in this landscape, which is
somber at times, but which is nonetheless poetic.
