Abstract
This article discusses about the landscapes contained in the book Veranico de Janeiro, authored by Bernard Élis. We assume that literature is not an accurate representation of reality, despite the reference of reality. Moreover, we believe that literature and literary narratives are based on the experiences, and perspectives of the author. While he is making an artistic act he does not have commitment to "truth" and plays with it in order to compose the "real" and "unreal". So it is necessary to observe the socio-spatial trajectory of the author - his life story and spatialities which symbolically compose his experiences in order to precisely understand the production process of his work and the work for itself. In this case, Bernardo Élis composes his language and representations based on his experiences of "sertão" of Goiás. This is clear in Veranico de Janeiro, for the writer not only expresses the Goiás society and its contradictions marked in time-space, but also its relationship with the environment and, consequently, the formation of the landscape of this relationship.

Summary
Doutorando em Geografia – PosGeo-UFF Rua dos Inválidos, 138 bl. A ap. 304, Centro. Resumo Este artigo aborda às paisagens contidas na obra Veranico de Janeiro, de autoria de Bernardo Élis. Entendemos que a literatura ou as narrativas literárias se fundamentam nas vivências, experiências e perspectivas do autor, e ele – efetuando um ato artístico – não possui compromisso com a “verdade” e brinca com esta para compor o “real” e o “irreal” na obra. No caso que aqui tratamos, Bernardo Élis se fundamenta em suas vivências e experiências no sertão goiano, de onde retirou referências para compor sua linguagem e representações. Isso é nítido em Veranico de Janeiro, pois, o literato não somente expressa a sociedade goiana e suas contradições marcadas no tempo-espaço, mas também a relação desta com a meio ambiente e, consequentemente, a constituição das paisagens dessa relação.
