Abstract: This study, which owes much to the support of Mr. Josef Cermak and the Centre for European, Russian, and Eurasian Studies at the Munk Centre for International Studies, is the third chapter of a book — The Narrator — that I worked on during my stay at the University of Toronto in the summer of 2006. The book aims to describe the narrator as a textual strategy by which the narrative intention is expressed, and to answer the question “Who is the producer of this intention?”
