Este estudo apresenta a escritora chilena María Luisa Bombal ao cenário da crítica literária brasileira, destacando brevemente suas obras, porém detendo-se em A amortalhada, escrita em 1938. Assim, buscar-se-á mostrar alguns recursos recorrentes nesta obra da autora, sobretudo no que tange à(s) voz(es) apresentada(s) no desenvolver-se da narrativa, ou seja, analisar como se dá o discurso. Em particular, na pesquisa, tratar-se-á de ritmo, rima e sinestesias, recursos que contribuem para que a obra seja de uma simbologia, rara e precisa. / We intend to introduce this study about Chilean writer María Luisa Bombal´s life and work to the scenery of Brazilian literary criticism, trying to analize more closely La amortajada (The shrouded woman) (1938) considered extremely important in Chilean and international literary milien.

The aim of this Diploma Thesis is to bring attention to the resemblance between the work of one of the most important Hispanic American authors of 20th century, the Mexican Juan Rulfo, and his less well-known Chilean colleague, María Luisa Bombal. Even though the work of these writers has often been associated with the beginnings of the so-called Magical Realism, so far literary critics have not studied the parallelism in their poetics in detail. This work observes the deviation of these authors from the type of literature dominant in their time, and their effort to renovate it. Furthermore, it concerns the similarity in the approach to death in their work; it pays attention to the influence of the Nordic literature on their literary production. Another part of this work is dedicated to the parallels between the character of Susana San Juan from Rulfoˈs Pedro Páramo and Bombalˈs female characters. In addition to that, the work reflects the personal relationship between the authors in question.
