Abstract
This article aims to analyze, through the sociology of literature, the viewpoint that the Columbian writer Marquez has on the child through the stories included in Strange Pilgrims (1992). The aesthetic creation of this author is fed from top to bottom with magical realism. These short stories portray the character of the child, on the one hand as wonder and on the other hand as a calamity. The image the narrator presents of the children changes from one story to the other and it arouses the interest of the literary science. In some stories, the child is portrayed as God’s benediction, a symbol of humility, the place of innocence, wisdom, and holiness. However, in other stories, he or she is described as an awful object of terror.
