I. The greater degree of ironic detachment with which Jorge Amado has approached action and characters in much of his latter-day fiction has been most pronounced in the works that emphasize the relativity of truth. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the two novelettes of Os Velhos Marinheiros. I Both "A Morte e a Morte de Quincas Berro D'água" and "A Completa Verdade sobre as Discutidas Aventuras do Comandante Vasco Moscoso de Aragão, Capitão de Longo Curso" deliberately leave the reader with considerable doubt as to the reality/irreality of the events they narrate. This they achieve primari1y through the use of such ironic devices as multiple narrators, unreliable narrators, contrapuntal internal reduplications and double perspectíve.? Of these, the Iast-narned has perhaps received the least attention. I should like to examine it briefly here in order to establish some of its types and functions within Amadian fiction, laying specia! emphasis on its sociological ramifications. But first a word is in order about the general nature of double perspective as seen by severa! prominent literary critics. Their views will serve as a grid against which to assess the role of double perspective in the present works.
