Abstract
An analysis of the role of the love in the narrative written by Roberto Bolaño, is made in this article. For this, use the contributions from Roland Barthes, Julia Kristeva, Anthony Giddens, among others. The novels of Bolaño Robert are marked by the powerful presence of the love, force that acquires a sense transgressor against a series of social conventions of the Judeo-Christian civilization and that, also, is related to the exploitation of the "sentimentality" propose by Barthes. In addition, the love is elevated like a vital force in novels of Roberto Bolaño that motivates the displacements and the searches for characters who populate Bolaño world. In this perspective, the love is one of the most important variants of the "Magic", element that opposes the evil empire in the novels of Roberto Bolaño.
