Duas maravilhas, um mesmo encantamento: realismo maravilhoso e diálogos literários em cem anos de solidão e a jangada de pedra

Abstract

The field of unusual phenomena has always been an interest and theme of literature, as well as of literary criticism concerned with responding to the various appearances of the supernatural in the narratives. Hence the multiple varieties of interpretation and categorization of the phenomenon. One of these, wonderful realism, a term first used and created by the Cuban author Alejo Carpentier in 1949, which consists of the narration of the unreal as part of everyday reality and the acceptance of the supernatural by the characters as something common, becomes a theme on which our lives revolve. discussions. For this reason, trying to understand how the wonderful realistic story is constructed within the novelistic text, this research work proposes a comparative analysis of two novels; One hundred years of solitude by the Colombian Gabriel García Márquez (1967) and the Jangada de Pedra by the Portuguese writer José Saramago (1986), because we believe that the aesthetic form as the marvelous real is built in the two narratives, using images, allegories and evoking the roots of the myths, it can be pointed out that the dialogue between the American and European continents is deeper than we thought. At the same time, we believe that the authors, when weaving the two fictional works and making use of the wonderful real, propose a critique of modern man and, at the same time, seek to dialogue with their future.
