The relation between Geography and Literature is bilateral: on the one hand, writers take space as reference to the conception and structuring of their works; on the other hand geographers understand territorial dynamics through literary clues. This way, fictional writing, as a work tool, gains importance in the technical context as well as in the teaching plan. In the specific case of transatlantic migrations, basing analytically on the theoretical structuring board of transatlantic migration systems, it is intended to reflect over some specific points of the geographic, social and economic paths of Arab emigration to Brazil, in the beginning of the 20th century, having as base "A descoberta da América pelos Turcos" (The discovery of America by the Turks) [1994] by Jorge Amado.
