| Resumo: | This paper presents a study on the narrative ‘A exposição das rosas’ by István Örkény. We analyze death and issues on its representation. Born in 1912 and dead in 1979, Örkény testified in an intense and intrinsic way the great convulsions that affected Europe in the twentieth century. Far from the pamphlet, his literature has a remarkable feature of irony.In the novel analyzed, Iron Korom, a young and inexperienced director, tries to conduct a documentary on the final hours of three close to death patients, aiming at, in his words, help his contemporary folks to understand death experience. Based on Korom’s project Örkény makes us face a threshold, that is, the representation’s limit. |
