Resumo: For a better understanding of a given narrative it is essential to be aware of the one who perceives (the focalizer). His beliefs and comprehension determine which characters and circumstances are to be ignored or closely examined through his use of sight, hearing, feeling, taste or smell. Therefore, the issue concerning focalization is relevant to be taken into consideration when a literary work is analyzed. In the present article the work by the Australian author Markus Zusak, The Book Thief, is discussed under the assumptions from the narratological field, especially guided by Gérard Genette, Mieke Bal and Rimmon-Kenan. It is argued that focalization in The Book Thief is one of the main literary techniques which help creating the atmosphere and meaning of the text.

Suas crenças e compreensão determinam quais personagens e circunstâncias devem ser ignoradas ou examinadas de perto através da utilização dos sentidos da visão, audição, tato, paladar ou olfato. Assim sendo, a questão da focalização é algo relevante a ser levado em consideração quando um trabalho literário é analisado. No presente artigo, a obra do autor australiano Markus Zusak, A Menina que Roubava Livros, é discutida sob a ótica da narratologia, especialmente através das vozes de Gérard Genette, Mieke Bal e Rimmon-Kenan. Assevera-se que a focalização em A Menina que Roubava Livros é uma das principais técnicas literárias que ajuda a construir a atmosfera e sentido do texto. UFSC2017-01-27info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/2175-8026.2017v70n1p13510.5007/2175-8026.2017v70n1p135Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; Vol. 70 No. 1 (2017); 135-142Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; v. 70 n. 1 (2017); 135-1422175-80260101-4846reponame:Ilha do Desterroinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCenghttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/2175-8026.2017v70n1p135/33493Copyright (c) 2017 Débora Almeida de Oliveira, Sandra Sirangelo Maggioinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOliveira, Débora Almeida deMaggio, Sandra Sirangelo2019-01-25T09:09:33Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/43249Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterroPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/oaiilha@cce.ufsc.br||corseuil@cce.ufsc.br||ilhadodesterro@gmail.com2175-80260101-4846opendoar:2019-01-25T09:09:33Ilha do Desterro - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
