Summary/Abstract: The objective of this essay is to examine the concept of tempus fugit in the novel Em Nome da Terra written by Virgil Ferreira. It is a profound reading and analysis that shows the different types of movement that constitute this literary work, the presence of Crono, a primordial myth which emerges as human body and it relationship with time. It is also demonstrated that the verbal operation which shapes this movement, echoes the death of the body, thereby focusing on itself all the tension of psychic and libidinal energy. The corpus in dialogue with time turns to a symbol of death and a representation of this reality.
