The connection between creator and receiver is present in a peculiar way in great part of the work of João Guimarães Rosa. And this is also finded intratextually in his tales. To put this connection in relief, this study will analyze three novels from the book Corpo de Baile: "Campo Geral", "Cara-de-Bronze" and "Dão-lalalão". Although there are storytellers in all the novelistic cycle, the chosen corpus presents with more emphasis protagonists that narrate to others and, in a certain extent, to themselves. Miguilim narrates essencially juvenile tales; Grivo retells the personal trajectory of Cara-de-Bronze, changing the invented version and the experienced one by the farmer and, at last, Soropita examines again personal matters throught dreams. The internal tales cause an effect on the listeners sometimes operating as a way of learning and sometimes as a drive to different searches and actions. From this point, the purpose of this study is to define creators and receivers of this tales, reflecting about their roles, and also emphazise functions and consequences of these accounts to its characters, demonstrating that internal storytellers favour through fictional experiences, not only their own "experience of life", but also the one of the listeners.
