Análise estilística da voz narrativa infantil en "Los girasoles ciegos" de Alberto Méndez

Abstract

The objective of the present study is a stylistic analysis of the narrative voice of the child in the last story of Alberto Méndez’s book Los girasoles ciegos, whose story receives the same name. First, this study shows the characteristics that relate the story with the postwar Spanish narrative, such as intimate writing and technical innovations in the narration; in the second part, a rhetorical analysis of the narrative voice of the child is made, where evidentia and allegory are the most used resources in his speech, employed as ways of describing reality. The text concludes with a critical reflection based on the analysis.
