description The present article analyses twomajor contemporary Brazilian novels that dealwith the subject of urban violence and marginality, apparently from a similarpoint of view and writing style, Paulo Lins‟Cidade de Deus(1997) and PatríciaMelo‟sInferno(2000). The analysis of the internalstructures of this texts shows, nevertheless, that both discursive constructions uphold opposite world viewsand ideological conceptions, despite their superficial affinity. Violence andmarginality, in fact, are probably the most exploited and discussed subjects inthe last few decades in Brazil, so the comparison between the poeticalconstruction in both novels reveals that it is almost impossible to maintain anunivocal sense and explanation of this contemporary condition.
