Vasto Mundo, written by Maria Valéria Rezende, is composed of several past episodes in Farinhada, a fictitious settlement in Paraíba, and was classified by the presenter and by the publisher as a storybook. However, it has a narrative unity. In addition, it has elements that grant it an epic flavor and places the book in the track of the transformations undergone by the Brazilian epic tradition.
