"First there will be a brief technical outline of the relationship between fiction and history, for which I owe a good part of my reflection to the work of Paul Ricoeur, as well as to authors such as Hayden White, Le Goff, Roger Chartier, Frederick Jameson, Beatriz Sarlo, Roberto Schwarz and Antonio Cándido. Secondly, I will present an outline focusing on Colombian literature, still in process, from two novels, Pax by José María Rivas Groot y Lorenzo Marroquín, and One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez. I am unsure how conscious is the relationship between the two, but what is certain is that the first influences the intention of the second."
