Oneiric experiences in Rosa Montero's children's and youg people's literature

Abstract

This article analyses the narrative discourse in Rosa Montero’s trilogy for children and young people: Las barbaridades de Bárbara, El viaje fantástico de Bárbara y Bárbara contra el Doctor Colmillos. This research aims to determine the discursive strategies used in these three literary works where both travelling (the exterior adventure of the heroine) and dreaming (the adventure which could be defined as inner) are two different acts which melt and mingle through explicit and implicit strategies.
Keywords: Children’s and Young People’s Literature, discursive strategies, journey, dreams, epic phantasy.
