Lins do Rego literary Discourse. In order to do so, there were used the literary works Fogo Morto, Menino de Engenho, Bang?? and Usina as study objects. Throughout the prosecution of a exploratory and documental bibliographic research it was identified that, in the cited literary works, there are three specialties corresponding to the main scenarios of the plots, the Santa F? and Santa Rosa mills and the Bom Jesus mill factory. We have conceived the mills as main charachters, since all stories deployment corresponds to the other charachters reactions to the many forms that the specialties are, or not, affected by the modernization. Therefore, the narratives in Fogo Morto, Menino de Engenho, Bang?? and Usina reaffirm the viability of the literary discourse application as a source for the construction of the sociological interpretation of the northeastern sugar economy process of modernization in the end of 19th century and beginning of the 20th century / An?lise da inser??o da economia a?ucareira nordestina no processo de moderniza??o deste ramo de economia a partir do discurso liter?rio de Jos? Lins do Rego. Para isso, foram utilizadas as obras Fogo Morto, Menino de Engenho, Bang?? e Usina como objeto de estudo. Atrav?s da realiza??o de uma pesquisa bibliogr?fica de cunho explorat?rio e documental, identificou-se que, nos enredos dos romances, existem tr?s espacialidades correspondentes aos cen?rios principais das tramas, os engenhos Santa F? e Santa Rosa e a usina Bom Jesus. Concebemos os engenhos como protagonistas, uma vez que todo o desenrolar das hist?rias corresponde a rea??es dos demais personagens ?s diversas formas com que as especialidades s?o atingidas ou n?o pela moderniza??o. Portanto, as narrativas presentes em Fogo Morto, Menino de Engenho, Bang?? e Usina reafirmam a viabilidade da utiliza??o do discurso liter?rio enquanto fonte para a constru??o da interpreta??o sociol?gica do processo de moderniza??o da economia a?ucareira nordestina dos fins do s?culo XIX e in?cio do s?culo XX
