O knihe
Vigil of the Admiral, the third novel by Paraguayan writer Augusto Roa Bastos (1992), tends to be placed as a finished example of the New Latin American Historical Novel, due to the fictional treatment of the figure of Christopher Columbus. It is Roa's project to present a more human figure of the complex personality of the Admiral. In order to do so, he uses a strategy of representation that puts into play the multiple viewpoints (fictional or historical) that have shaped the Admiral over the centuries. These glances are often discernible as intertexts and the whole allows for a peculiar polyphonic game. From this wide intertextual game the spectrum related to the Chronicles of the Indies was selected: Relationship about the antiquities of the Indians, Decades of the New World, the History of the Indies, the general and natural History of the Indies, the History of the Indies, the Life of Admiral don Cristóbal Colón, and the Royal Commentaries of the Incas. The reconstruction of the intertexts made it possible to understand the strategy of intertextual manipulation that made it possible for Roa to erect the polyhedral vision on the figure of Columbus.
