| Izvleček: | This work studies the landscapes displayed in Jorge Amado’s novels The Violent Land (“Terras do sem-fim”) and The Golden Harvest (“São Jorge dos Ilhéus”). This article considers them to have language imagery and formative elements which demonstrate the identity construction of Southern Bahia. This approach will be based on the concept of topophilia, by Yi-fu Tuan; image and perception, by Winfred Nöth and the aesthetics of visible, by Flora Süssekind. Such theoretical framework will support the analysis of symbols and epithets present in these fictional works, which are seen as visual metaphors composed of symbolic elements that represent, identify and value, and possibly exaggerate, cultural traits of certain cities, such as: Salvador (Land of Joy); Itabuna (Capital of Cocoa) and Ilhéus (Princess of the South; Land of Gabriela), scenarios that dominate the reader’s imagination while visiting Brazil. |
