The aim of this paper is to present some theoretical aspects, postulated by German writer Alfred Döblin in his essays, as he developed his own conception of the epic work in "the technical era", based on stylistic aspects, proposing concepts such as "film style", "depersonalization", "factual fantasy" and "kinetic fantasy". As a basis for a conceptual definition concerning the notion of "style", this paper takes into account Antoine Compagnon´s arguments in the work Literature, theory and common sense (1998), as well as Walter Benjamin´s reflections presented in the review "The crisis of the novel" (1930) and the essay "The Storyteller" (1936).
