It is a surprising fact that Sociolinguistics has approached the realm of Literature with low intensity, in spite of the fact that the latter is made up of a markedly social discursive network, specially because of its ambition for verisimilitude. Starting from this premise, the author of this study proposes a sociolinguistic reading of El último patriarca by connecting the characters' sociolinguistic landmarks with their social fight. The character Manel-Mimoun will try to become an ruthless patriarch and his daughter will attempt to be a free woman who conquers a new identity. Through this reading journey a kind of linguistic and literary tourism is triggered. It is like visiting an emotional landscape that will frequently consist of visiting hidden corners of our sentimental and historical geography, spaces that are forgotten on purpose.
