The golden specter of El Dorado and its promises of unlimited
wealth have haunted Western iconography for centuries. The
Miraculous Lie: Lope de Aguirre and the Search for El Dorado in the
Latin American Historical Novel is a fascinating study of five
twentieth-century Latin American novels that focus on one
particular search for El Dorado: the infamous 1559 expedition,
headed by Pedro Ursua and the first legendary colonial rebel
against the crown, Lope de Aguirre. Author Bart Lewis approaches
five works-Arturo Uslar Pietri's El Camino de El Dorado, Abel
Posses's Daim-n, Miguel Otero Silva's Lope de Aquirre, Pr'ncipe de
la Libertad, Jorge Ernesto Funes's Una Lanza por Lope de Aguirre,
and FZlix _lvarez SOenz's Cr-nica de Blasfemos-as representations
of Latin American literature during the mid to late
twentieth-century and as re-examinations of the notorious figure of
Lope de Aguirre. Lewis is therefore able to provide not only a
successful chronology of the stylistic development of the Latin
American novel, but also a thoughtful analysis of how these novels
appropriate Aguirre and give a revisionist and authentic voice to
the Latin American cultural founder. Wonderfully engaging and
beautifully written, The Miraculous Lie examines the search for El
Dorado in modern Latin American literature as the search for
self-determination.
