Abstract

The essay revisits Mario Vargas Llosa‘s novel Historia de Mayta, not from a political point of view, but from a Cervantine perspective, as it becomes feasible to identify convergent literary themes and techniques with Cervante‘s top masterpiece, Don Quijote de la Mancha. The "fiction" theme, the main character‘s parody, multiple narrators, and the metafictional component link both literary works in a very particular way.
