El posible subgénero de los testimonios de conversiones súbitas

Abstract

The aim of this text is to set upan accessible resource which will provide testimonies of personal conversions. In order to do this, we have compared the cases of Paul Claudel, André Frossard and Manuel García Morente, which were published in the first half of the 20th century. In terms of the autobiographical, chronicle and testimonial genre, we will see how the three sources would build a common narrative structure that is demanded by the theme and the purpose that they pretend, that is, the clear communication of a one-time phenomenon of divine transparency that involves the protagonist and the narrator's sudden conversion.
