Abstract

This paper tries to revise J. M. Coetzee´s autobiographical work Provincial Life
Scenes from the theories of autobiography and Martin Heidegger´s existential

being and time. In the textual analysis there are some theoretical aspects such as:
the being, the world and death as elements that can be traced in “childhood”,
“youth” and “adulthood”, these titles are developed in Provincial Life Scenes and
Heidegger´s concepts of Being and time.
