Because of a rather heterogeneous population, mixing various cultures, and ethnic groups, the intercultural character of Canada, and particularly of Québec, can be viewed a form of intangible heritage. Combining two internal monologues expressing a conflict of generations, the story “L’immense fatigue des pierres,” from the eponymous book by Régine Robin, outlines through fiction the city of Montréal, the Jewish condition, wandering and the issue of multilingualism. Professor, sociologist, novelist-essayist and essayist-novelist, Robin draws, over the course of a bio-fictional narrative, the image of Montréal as a welcoming place where it is possible to elaborate, construct, and deconstruct belongings and memories. The American literary context is rich in these imaginary scenes featuring the insertion of individuals from migrations. In Brazil, the writer Moacyr Scliar devoted almost all his works to the issue of Jewish immigration and its inclusion in the national context. This writer, who has been a member of the Brazilian Academy of Letters, has written more than eighty books, essays, tales and novels, such that the fictional examples of these themes are numerous. We will consider, as a counterpoint to the text of Régine Robin, the journey of two protagonists of the novel Sa Majesté des Indiens who leave Europe for Brazil with their families, each migrating to a different region and reality. The story reveals, through the experiences lived by these persons, the cultural diversity of the country.
