Resumo: Rosa s writing, in general, is marked by the creation of a magical and mysterious universe. Guimarães Rosa handles the language with such intensity that his "stories" create such impact on the reader capable of causing in him a desire to go through this fantastic space too. The crossing of that universe can be done through many ways. In this research, in particular, we choose the forks offered by the book First stories (Primeiras estórias). Published in 1962, the book gathers twenty-one short stories seen here as the experiences of life. The research begins with an analysis of the short story The mirror , the eleventh story of the book. From there, it emphasizes the etymology of the word mirror, and its philosophical meaning, the revelation of true identity through a search of the inner side and its contradictions suggested in the confrontation between man and boy. From the awareness of these contradictions arises a third possibility of existential quest. Then some aspects of the main story are shown on how they appear reflected in the other twenty "stories" of the book. The insistence on using the infant universe, the coexistence of opposites, the emergence of a third dimension, beyond the need to give the "final jump" to transcend and to envision a third installment of the reality. After the stories rapprochement, it explores the concept of word as an element that has the same function as a mirror. Thus, we formulated the hypothesis of a study done with the language that raises speculation about a reality that is not seen through the eyes of the body. A scripture that turns into space where it is possible to transcend. Finally, we see how the argument put forward by the narrator of The mirror is backed up on the experiences of individual characters deemed excluded. At the intersection of situations told we can understand how the paradoxes can lead to the perception of a reality that absorbs spiritual matters
