Abstract: The aim of the article is the analysis of “Four waitings” [“Quatro esperas”], the second chapter of Antonio Candido’s book, The speech and the city [O discurso e a cidade]. The texts chosen by the author are: a poem of Cavafis; a short-story by Kafka; and two novels: the first by Dino Buzzati and the second by Julien Gracq. They point to the ominous perception of an imminent end of the world.
