Abstract

This research focuses on two novels that, dealing with the same subject, manifest a cross-dialogue from different historical and ideological contexts. For the study of the works Compay Chano (1949), by Miguel Alberto Román, and Le peuple de Terres Mêlées (1989), by René Philoctѐte, concepts such as transtextuality, thematology and historical novel will be used, with the urpose of carrying out a parallel analysis of two visions on the same historical fact that marks the history of the island of Santo Domingo. It is concluded that, by observing how the ideological assumptions, as well as the epochal distance on the narrated fact, both novels pose different versions that in turn reflect the revision of the events that mark our history.
