Ethics and Esthetics in three Peruvian infant stories

Abstract

The article presents an analysis of values in three Peruvians stories: «El bagrecico» by Francisco Izquierdo Rios (from Saposoa, San Martin department), Los dí­as de Carbón by Rosa Cerna Guardia (from Ancash) and El Volador invencible by Jorge Eslava (from Lima). The life stories of these texts main characters are presented as round ones, and their performance and inner worlds are known through various facets. The amount of experience approximates to the impact it has on the characters the circumstances in which they live and the answers are enriching their relationship between the world and their personalities. From this perspective, since they are learning stories, the characters are made on day to day.

The world depicted in the three texts allows an analytical and comparative approach for discussion of the relevance of some of the characters, experiences and the meaning of their work from an ethical perspective. The amount charged by the act within a daily life whose key principles guide the actions enable a parallel with circumstances that are part of human existence since literary stories are metaphors for the existence and reflect, in the same way as mirrors, faces in which the human being identifies himself.
