Literature on the tracks of memory and history: Terra de Caruaru, by José Condé ; A literatura nos trilhos da memória e da história: Terra de Caruaru, de José Condé

This article aims to analyze the novel Terra de Caruaru (first published in 1960), by the Pernambuco writer José Condé, in the light of the links maintained between memory and history.
