As relações de crônica de uma morte anunciada de Gabriel García Marquez e os dois irmãos, de Germano de Almeida, com a morte

Abstract

This work aims to make an analysis of the works Cronic of a Death Announced (1983), Gabriel García Márquez, Colombian author, and The Two Brothers (1995), by Germano de Almeida, author Cape Verdean, through the anthropological concept of death, worked by Rodrigues (1983). One of the points of connection between the works of Germano Almeida and García Márquez is the theme of death. In Cronic of a Death Announced, the death of the personage of Santiago is an anticipated threat for all the acquaintances and friends of the victim for having suffered an addiction in Ângela Vicario, sister of the assassins, before its marriage with Bayardo San Roman. In the work The two brothers, by Germano de Almeida, an exact death and a day after an arrival André, who was working in Portugal, and reveals in his plot the existence of a fratricide practiced by the young man in his younger brothers John. Still in this article, we will follow a premise that from the 1950s Latin America undergoes profound changes in its literature. The great scriptures begin to promote the creation of a textual network that account not only in particular but also make universal. The historical spirit is the possession of Latin American writers: their interpretation of the world is something that is not only the sense of consciousness, but also writes it. This movement caused the literature produced by these writers to be refractory to literature in Europe. Thus, when it comes to works of call from the cultural periphery, we will trace the whole course of elaboration of how the works have gone, for with Cândido (1998) we work with the literary theme that the engravings are present around the crime practiced by André., in the work of Germano Almeida, and the assassination of the character in Santiago, as the men represent a cultural affirmation, in the face of their colonizers, lived by the Latin American and Cape Verdean people.
