A representação do leitor e da leitura em A história sem fim de Michael Ende e Coração de tinta de Cornélia Funke

Abstract

The following dissertation is a dialog with the studies and researches which care about the constructions of the relation author-work-reader, essentially guided through the researches from Wolfgang Iser and Umberto Eco about the reading and the reader. It is thus our main objectiv is to analyse the whole process of construction of the text, the reader and how the reading develops itself, such in the text itself as well in the reader itself. Therefore with the readercharacters Bastian, Motimer Meggie, Darius from The Neverending Story and Inkheart respectively, we can analyse and enquire the distinct interactions of the reader with the literary text.
