Abstract

This article will look, at the work Nas tuas mãos (1997), writer of contemporary Portuguese Inês Pedrosa, the fracture of the autobiographical pact, the theory proposed by French theorist Philippe Lejeune. The fracture of the autobiographical pact will be examined by the breakup of the relationship between basic identity of the triad: author-narrator-character, the fake autobiography of Jenny, Camila and Natália, set by Pedrosa. These autobiographies are constructed through the fictional pretense that leads the reader to believe that the story told here is true (fictional pact), ie, the reader is led to believe in the story as if it were real. From the concepts developed by Wolfgang Iser on the fictional element in the literary text, we will see how the fracture occurs in the novel's autobiographical pact Nas tuas mãos, especially in mock autobiography of Jenny.
