The study offers an interpretation of the novel A Bee in the Rain (1953) from the perspective of a house. The novel is the last in the so-called Gandara tetralogy, a collection of neorealist prose which Carlos de Oliveira set in his childhood country, a poor and barren land of sand dunes in central Portugal. The house of the declining Silvestre family becomes a battleground between a man and a woman and in the end also between social classes. A barrow heavily making its way on a muddy road, in which the Silvestres are fighting for space, becomes a miniature of the house and a reflection of its fate. Next the house is compared to a beehive with a decaying swarm inside whose bees, blinded with spite, make bile instead of honey and spread it around. The neorealist level of the novel gives way to the symbolic level. The author works primarily with the symbols of honey, fire and gold, which he juxtaposes with the symbols bile, water and mud.

In 2022, Brazil commemorated two crucial moments in its historical and cultural development. Two hundred years have passed since independence from Portugal and one hundred years since the socalled Modern Art Week (Semana de Arte Moderna) in São Paulo. In addition to celebrations, the year 2022 was also a year of new perspectives on both anniversaries, especially through the lens of the First Nations of Brazil. One of the significant efforts was the article “Centenary of Art Week Mobilizes Indigenous Artists” (Centenário da Semana da Arte mobiliza artistas indígenas) and the “Manifesto of Contemporary Native Brasilian Literature” (Manifesto da Literatura Indígena Contemporânea) contained in it. The text by the Brazilian writer Trudruá Dorrico was intentionally published a week before the anniversary, on February 9, 2022, in the online magazine Ecoa. The analysis of several slogans of the manifesto will focus on the issue of tribal ancestors and “Macunaíma’s grandchildren”.

This article is dedicated to Vergílio Ferreira’s lyrical reflective novel Forever (Para Sempre, 1983) and presents the spatial analysis of the house. The novel’s protagonist Paulo returns to his childhood home. The house, which has been abandoned for years, provokes a need in him to review his life, which leads to a search for the meaning of human existence in general. Paulo, the self-diegetic narrator, is returning to the house of his childhood. It is the definitive return that begins the last phase of his life, the time remaining until his death. Wandering around the house, running down the corridors, up and down the stairs, entering each room, he finds a stopped time, rediscovers his past, and thinks about his future and his dreams. There are four symbols that represent the four main rooms, which work as the keys to interpretation.
