There are several ways of utilizing the plurality of narrative instances in a novel; the "stereoscopic view", which presents an object through the lens of several perceptions, is one of these ways. This is the case of Des feuilles dans la bourrasque (La Hojarasca), Gabriel Garcia Marquez's first novel, which will be at the center of our reflection on multiple narratives. We will study the structure of the novel through the notion of "parallax", which implies the fragmentation of the object by the marginalization of each one its points of view. However, it is by revealing the "stereoscopic" character of the novel with multiple narratives that the apparent lack of cohesion of the text will be qualified. The study will conclude with the following question: Does the structure of a novel with multiple narratives raise an ethical concern? / Ecluses is a story in five tempos, composed of five chronologically isolated short stories, which are interconnected by a context of common events and characters. The narrative of each of these short stories is supported by a distinct character. Nevertheless, it is the sum of the characters' perceptions, due to the active participation of the reader who has the role of making the different points of view converse, that the story to takes shape and goes forward.

This master's thesis in literary creation is composed of two parts. The first one, a literary critic approaches the confrontation between memory and oblivion, in the novelistic work One hundred years of solitude from Colombian Gabriel Garcia Marquez through various themes. Primarily, we explain how this duality is seen through hereditary memories, loneliness, activity and inertia. In the next chapters, we show how this duality is also connected with death, collective and individual memories which contributes to make history and identity, with transformation of the past by careful scrutiny of the writing and sleep themes, and finally, to the memory awakened by associations coming from a sensual perception of the past, along with the significance given to objects and through the omnipresence of repetition. / The second part of this master's thesis untitled Nuits blanches is composed of 6 short stories each casting a women battling her anguish and demons, and who throughout a moment, day or night, loses or thinks she's losing her reason.

Since its publication in 1981, Cronica de una muerte anunciada, has been in general interpreted in terms of tragedy. The death of Santiago Nasar, which is due to the rigid observance of a code of honour concerning women's virginity before marriage, appears to be absurd. Nonetheless, in my opinion, the death of Santiago Nasar acquires meaning the moment the victim is symbolically reborn in the love that eventually will join the disgraced couple. / My interpretation, which relies on both historiography and narrative, is supported by an evaluation of the narrator's role in this fictional world. Significantly enough, the narrator is none other than Gabriel Garcia Marquez who, through a self-splitting fictionalisation, appears as one more among the many characters. Thus, Garcia Marquez as the narrator and a character, relates the events and organizes them into a chronicle. In this sense, he assumes the role of "chronicler-narrator." Yet, he also assumes the role of "oracle-narrator," in the sense that he imbues Santiago Nasar's crime with a mythical dimension which reveals the message of love suggested in the novel. / Another hermeneutic resource applied to my analysis is the analogy I draw between the novel and the Gospel, and my view of Santiago Nasar as a sort of Christ. In my opinion, the character's death is not meaningless because it appeals to give life to the love of a couple and to open the possibility of love for the other characters.

Partindo da noção de interdisciplinaridade, este trabalho, realizado na área da literatura comparada, centra-se na relação entre o escritor Gabriel García Márquez e o pintor Fernando Botero, com ênfase na interpretação da realidade colombiana presente nas obras desses artistas. Os quadros de Botero – O Capitão, Retrato Oficial da Junta Militar, O Jogador de Cartas, A Casa de Amanda Ramírez, A Rua e Cena Familiar – são analisados em comparação à obra Cem anos de solidão, de Gabriel García Márquez. O foco está nos personagens retratados, sendo esses os militares, as prostitutas e amantes, os empregados, o povo e a família, representantes da sociedade colombiana da qual fazem parte os dois artistas. Para tanto, faz-se incursões teóricas em distintas direções: a interdisciplinaridade na literatura comparada e a pintura como representação. Dessa forma, estabelecem-se elos entre os dois autores e suas respectivas obras. / Beginning with interdisciplinarity notion, this work has been made in the comparative literature’s area, its center is in the relation between Gabriel García Marques writer and Fernando Botero painter, with emphasis in Columbian’s reality interpretation that has been present in theirs works.
