THE FUNCTION OF THE CONCEPTION “WONDER” IN THE LATE WORKS OF G.G. MÁRQUEZ

Abstract

The paper studies the transformation of the conception “wonder” and its function in the late works of G.G. Márquez – “Twelve Pilgrim-Stories” and the novel “About Love and Other Demons”. Here occurs the “subjectivization of the narration”, when the outward real developments, “passing” through the prism of the author’s world-perception, are expressed by his heroes.
The alterations of the poetics of wonder in the above-mentioned works of the author characterize the new trend in his world-perception. At the same time they reveal the dynamics of the subsequent development of magic realism and help to percept the typology of Latin-American prose of the newest period.
