Abstract

The following text proposes a reading of the story “Presepe”, showing the path taken by the character, Uncle Bola, to relive the moment of the birth of Christ, breaking the limits imposed by reality and retrieving the holy instant, with all the changes that this decision brings to the character. The tale tells of a magic moment of elevation of the subject, a torrent of imagination, poetry and faith. This whole atmosphere is full of symbols, which represent the collective and the individual, and make up the plot of the poetic tale.
