RESUMO

The formation of the horizon of this work is the comparison between the literary works of the author of Predadores and Mayombe, the Angolan writer Pepetela, specially at the perspective of Nation that is founded on each text, but in differently ways. The ability to read the works in very closely way to the Angolan historical phenomena is what makes this project closed to the national question, which is so relevant to the Angolan literary series, especially if you have in mind the formation of this young country and the need to build its own identity. The narratives in question express in different times this ideological construction and the variations in the national process, each one at the time, and when they are viewed one relation to another, it can be inferred more, primarily in what this ideological deconstruction and loss of paradigms whether political or cultural. It is the effect of post-modernity which requires the concerned company to find themselves without the ground and not sure of anything, since one can no longer speak of the colonial state, but post-colonial land and as such are open to possibilities they purposeful or nihilistic related to the nationally formation. Therefore, to remove more than superficialities of the relationship of these narratives we should keep in mind that the hybrid formations of this area require the detachment theory, moving toward the collaboration between disciplines in order to capture something significantly of the Contact. So ask yourself about the books Mayombe and Predators both in terms as the contact points as the points of repulsion is more than a theoretical exercise, question itself about the legitimacy of the national process that implied in the two works, makes Pepetela a kind of demiurge, whose records what is out of right place, diverging the analysis, and gradually presents as an acrid taste in the mouth of the reader, what it became the dream of Angola freedom, in the antithesis of the process which takes places and makes the most savage capitalism that destroyed the communist dream of beginning, and that is no longer possible to believe in a state along the lines of the West of the nineteenth century, but simply whats left of it. However, you cannot read the background above only for the negative way, because it can verify the complex literary works that not only realize in the historic photograph but also the work of language and meaning that to be truly appreciated by the reader it demands technical and hermeneutical work, from microspical to the macroscopical, to its bring a satisfactory knowledge about the works.
