Resumo: The key issue of the book Stadt der Engel by Christa Wolf (1929-2011) revolves around the apprehension of reality nowadays. In this work, published in 2010, there is a simple and irrelevant plot which functions, however, as a narrative frame to support all the modes of discourse present in the text: the romanesque, the historical, the autobiographical. There is even a surreal presence of a guardian angel who helps the female protagonist to withstand the vicissitudes of a foreign country and, in particular, to deal with the "discovery" of her own past as informal collaborator of the former GDR secret police (STASI). This essay aims to show how all these discourses are articulated in one literary tissue.

Der Fall Stadt der Engel von Christa Wolf The key issue of the book Stadt der Engel by Christa Wolf (1929-2011) revolves around the apprehension of reality nowadays. In this work, published in 2010, there is a simple and irrelevant plot which functions, however, as a narrative frame to support all the modes of discourse present in the text: the romanesque, the historical, the autobiographical. There is even a surreal presence of a guardian angel who helps the female protagonist to withstand the vicissitudes of a foreign country and, in particular, to deal with the "discovery" of her own past as informal collaborator of the former GDR secret police (STASI). This essay aims to show how all these discourses are articulated in one literary tissue. O tema da obra Stadt der Engel, de Christa Wolf (1929-2011), gira em torno da problemática apreensão do real nos dias de hoje. Há nesta obra, publicada em 2010, uma ação curta e irrelevante que constitui, contudo, uma moldura narrativa a sustentar todos os discursos presentes no texto: o romanesco, o histórico, o autobiográfico. Há até a presença surreal de um anjo protetor que ajuda a protagonista a suportar as vicissitudes de uma estrangeira em terras estranhas e, em particular, a descoberta de seu passado como membro colaborador informal da outrora polícia secreta da DDR (Stasi). Este ensaio objetiva mostrar como todos esses discursos se articulam na forma de um tecido literário. Hauptthema des Buches Stadt der Engel von Christa Wolf (1929-2011) ist die problematische Feststellung der Realität in unseren heutigen Tagen. Dieses Buch, veröffentlicht im Jahr 2010, stellt eine kurze und unbedeutende Handlung dar, welche jedoch als ein Erzählrahmen funktioniert, der alle Diskurse im Text stützt: den romanhaften, den historischen, den autobiographischen. Sogar die surrealistische Figur eines Schutzengels wird dem Leser geboten, eine Figur, die der Protagonistin als Ausländerin in einem fremden Land hilft, Schicksalsschläge wie die "Entdeckung" der eigenen Vergangenheit als IM Margarete der Stasi zu überwinden. Absicht dieses Essays ist es zu zeigen, wie alle diese Diskurse im Text zu einem literarischen Gewebe artikuliert werden. Universidade de São Paulo.
