This paper aims to propose an analysis of the biography as a kind of frontier between history, literature and journalism through the relationship between memory and narrative. To this end, the article focuses on the construction of narrative in A Warrior’s Life - The Authorized Biography by Fernando Morais about the author Paulo Coelho released in 2008. The analysis of the biography such as an journalistic product is done from the perspective of memory and the concept of narrativity, using as reference the three stages of the narrative proposed by Paul Ricoeur: foreshadowing, setting and refacement. Thus, we will analyze the use of Paulo Coelho’s diaries by journalist Fernando Morais as a source of narrativity in an attempt to enhance the story of life as reality itself.
