This text intends to reread the novel Gabriela, cravo e canela, by Jorge Amado, recalling the time of its writing without losing sight of the period of its publication, the year 1958, the decade in which it was written and its values , both political and aesthetic, considering that the historical transparency that permeates the writer's entire work favors the recognition of the context in which his writings were produced. Gabriela is the first female character built, in this context, a literary representation that denounces the author's affirmation and desire to represent and export the culture of his land and his people, through exoticism and exuberance. For that, an extensive bibliographical research was carried out, representative of the readings and evaluations of the novel considered as a dividing mark and as one of the most emblematic novels of the writer Jorge Amado.
