Abstract

This work carries out a translation of the short story The Flood (Kouzui), written by the Japanese author Kobo Abe. Made in 1950, the work expresses a proposal of the end of humanity from the liquefaction of the population. The text, still unpublished in Brazilian Portuguese, shows Abe's literary manifestation through a vision operating with the logic of absurdity, science fiction and the post-apocalypse, critically emphasizing the way men are relating to work, urban space and economic power.
