| Sumario: | This article deals with the evocation of Don Quixote in one of the Episodios Nacionales by Benito Pérez Galdós: the novel Bailén. This evocation is viewed as a result of literary transduction from the reading and interpretation of Cervantes’ Don Quixote achieved by the author and by the hero, who is a first-person narrator. The article also deals with the evocations of Napoleon Bonaparte by the hero Gabriel Araceli and by the afrancesado Luis de Santorcaz during their journey from Madrid to Andalusia after the uprising of the people of Madrid on the 2nd of May 1808 against the French army and the shootings of Spaniards by French firing squads on the 3rd of May 1808 and before the battle of Bailén. The evocation of Don Quixote has a counterpart in the evocations of Napoleon by the hero as a terrible image and by Santorcaz as an admirable man. Evocations are analysed from the point of view of perspectivism and explained as a dialectical polarisation that is projected onto the whole novel and contributes to its literary construction. The role of history and fiction in the novel is studied, as well as the function of literary and historical elements as part of the cultural-rhetorical communicative code that links the readers with the author |
