| Sumario: | The text investigates, in the prolific work of Eliécer Cárdenas, two of his cardinal themes: the saga of bandits and the historical novel. The first contains his most famous fable Polvo y ceniza and several others about vigilante bandits like Naún Briones and even heartless ones like Arnoldo Cueva and his evil exterminators like Major Deifilio Morocho, as well as novels about thieves of religious dresses, such as Rafles, and mentions of the Águila Quiteña. The historical novel includes five fictions about figures such as Bolívar, Monsignor González Suárez, actors of the Conquest and Independence, and even the farcical and funny plot of several writers plotting to steal someone else’s novel. The whole highlights the enormous literary quality of Eliécer Cárdenas. |
