O sagrado em Guimarães Rosa: uma leitura comparada dos contos Chronos kai Anagke e A terceira margem do rio

Abstract

It is known that Guimarães Rosa (1908-1967) is a well-known and recognized author whose works are related to supraregionalism, in addition, the influence of fantastic, sacred and religious literature can also be perceived in his first short stories and even novels. The main aim of this article is to carry out a reading of the sacred, with its religious derivations, in two distinct moments of Rosa's trajectory. To do so, the short story Chronos kai Anagke will be analyzed and an analogy will be drawn between this short story and the short story The third edge of the river, in addition to emphasizing aspects of the divine form in both, revealing what can be considered as religious highlights, and that part of this approach was later absorbed by the author to consolidate his identity, becoming a constitutive part of his narrative.
