“Fuesse paral Papa et contól la sua fazienda”. The Exemplary Writing of Travel in Conde Lucanor
Keywords:
Travel books, Exemplo, El conde LucanorAbstract
Taking into account that the travel motif organises the narrative material in Tales of a Parrot, Canterbury Tales or The Thousand and One Nights, the author analizes the structure of El Conde Lucanor from this point of view. A journey is explicit in the first and the last tales, as well as in the exemplo XXV, which constitutes a central episode in the dialoge between the count and his advisor. The travel motif contributes to connect every tale, to organise the episodic plot and to configure different types of journey: escatological, to the afterlife, initiatic, allegorical, celestial or fantastic. Thus, travel provides meaning, form and structure to the story and to every particular episode.Downloads
