Abstract

The text offers the narration in the First, Second and Third person singular another yet undiscovered form: the character narration which leaves the narrator to report in incompetent, unreliable, even misleading ways and thus leaves it to the reader to decide on the meaning of his narrative. The most serious example for this procedure in German literature is Thomas Mann's late novel Doktor Faustus.
El texto aporta otra forma narrativa aún no descubierta además de la primera, la segunda y la tercera persona del singular: la narración personal, que permite al narrador relatar de forma incompetente, poco fiable e incluso confusa, y que permite al lector decidir el significado de lo narrado. El mejor ejemplo de este procedimiento en el marco de la literatura alemana es la novela de Thomas Mann: Doktor Faustus.
