THE IMAGE OF THE CELESTIAL MESSENGER AS A SOCIAL CHRONICLE IN STORIES BY NERVO, GARCÍA MÁRQUEZ AND PERI ROSSI

Abstract

This article conducts a study of the narrative configuration of the image of the celestial Messenger in three LatinAmerican stories: “El ángel caído” (1921) by Amado Nervo, “Un señor muy viejo con unas alas enormes” (1968) by Gabriel García Márquez, and “El ángel caído” (1983) by Cristina Peri Rossi. This approach intends, through the observation of diverse elements present in the aforementioned stories, to demonstrate the significant relationships and the positions taken by the authors in relation to the historical reality at the time of their production.
