The research has as object the novel “O outro pé da sereia”, by Mia Couto, and aims to verify the mermaid as subtitutive of the saint as narrative possibility. The popular imagination in relation to the mermaids produces an image of a half human being with fish tail and superhuman beauty. To understand the image of mermaid, we will approach their different definitions based on Maurice Blanchot and Peter Sloterdijk. Through the book The Book to Come, by Blanchot, we will talk about the act of narrating, considering the narrative not a report, but a real occurence. The work methodology is na exploratory and qualitative, since we found in the book components that fits as substitutives of the saint to mermaid. Finally, it is believed that change enables the narrative movement.
