RESUMEN España ha visto una nueva ola de literatura publicada en la primera década de este siglo que trata el tema de la Guerra Civil y que se nutre de las preocupaciones y debates que rodean al movimiento de la recuperación de la memoria de la guerra y la posguerra. Este trabajo pretende indagar en la representación de la Guerra Civil en la novela histórica en particular, centrándose en su estructura narrativa fragmentada. El artículo reconoce la yuxtaposición de diferentes elementos del discurso político, periodístico y historiográfico dentro de las narrativas histórico-ficcionales y la estudia según la idea posmoderna de fragmentación. A manera de ejemplo, toma el caso de dos escritores – Javier Cercas y Alberto Méndez – y sus obras Soldados de Salamina (2001) y El impostor (2014), y Los girasoles ciegos (2004) respectivamente. Se utilizan los ejemplos tomados de las tres novelas históricas contemporáneas para demostrar cómo los textos se convierten en sitios de recuperación de la memoria de la guerra y en herramientas de una reconstrucción novedosa pero crítica de la historia de España mediante la adopción de la fragmentación de manera textual, temática y discursiva. ABSTRACT Spain has witnessed a new wave of literature published in the first decade of this century that deals with the theme of the Civil War and that draws upon the concerns and debates surrounding the movement of recover the memory of the war and the postwar. This work attempts to analyze the representation of the Civil War in the historical novel in particular by focusing on its fragmented narrative structure. The article acknowledges the juxtaposition of different elements from political, journalistic and historiographic discourse within the historical-fictional narratives and studies it according to the postmodern idea of fragmentation. For the purpose of explanation, it takes the case of two writers – Javier Cercas and Alberto Méndez – and their works Soldados de Salamina (2001) y El impostor (2014), and Los girasoles ciegos (2004) respectively. The examples taken from the three contemporary historical novels are used to demonstrate how the texts become sites of recovery of the memory of the war and tools of a novel yet critical reconstruction of the history of Spain by adopting textual, thematic and argumentative fragmentation.

This paper addresses the contemporary historical novel as a practice of critical ontology of the present. That is to say, a field of reflection that investigates the current ontological status. In the Colombian case, historical fiction has been attentive to interpret the past of violence and armed conflict in an aesthetic way as a mechanism to understand the future of the present. This essay proposes that historical novels, despite being located in a space-time already travelled, maintain a matrix of meaning anchored in the present reality's interpellation. To this end, this paper analyzes the novels The Crime of the Century (2006) by Miguel Torres and So much blood seen (2007) by Rafael Baena.

<p><strong>Resumo: </strong>As fronteiras entre a História e a ficção possibilitaram a escrita de diversos textos oitocentistas que jogavam com essa dualidade conceitual. Alexandre Herculano (1810-1877) atuou intensamente nesse sentido, criando uma ficção histórica, característica do Romantismo português, ao trabalhar simultaneamente com objetos históricos e a imaginação. Ao mesmo tempo, percebemos na “Crônica do Descobrimento do Brasil” (1840) de Francisco Adolfo de Varnhagen (1816-1878) a presença de vários elementos característicos dessa Literatura desenvolvida por Herculano.

Sophie Cottin fue una novelista francesa que destacó con luz propia entre la pléyade de narradoras de finales del xviii. Considerada por la crítica literaria, junto a Mme de Genlis, como la creadora en Francia de la novela histórica, sus relatos serán una especie de oasis en el desierto literario que se extiende desde los inicios de la Revolución hasta finales del Primer Imperio. Claire d’Albe es un relato imbuido del sentimentalismo fúnebre que preludia el Romanticismo. Los personajes femeninos que en ésta se describen hacen gala de innumerables virtudes morales que en la mente del lector evocarán a los de la Nouvelle Héloise de Rousseau. En esta obra de Cottin se narra la historia de una joven atrapada en un triángulo amoroso, quien se debate entre someterse a la virtud o sucumbir a una pasión desenfrenada, argumento que deja entrever el carácter preeminentemente aleccionador de la novela. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es llevar a cabo un análisis de la novela francesa Claire d’Albe, tras el que se abordará el estudio de la versión española de la obra, publicada de forma anónima en el año 1822 con el título de Clara de Alba. Novelita en cartas.Sophie Cottin was a French novelist who set above her female writer peers in the late 18th century. Literary criticism has named her, along with Mme de Genlis, as the engenderer of the historical novel in France. Cottin’s body of literary works can be regarded as a visage amid the literary desert that ranges from the very beginning of the French Revolution to the fall of the First Empire. Claire d’Albe is a novel imbibed with a melancholy and sentimental touch that foreshadows Romanticism. In like fashion, its female characters are tinged with myriad moral virtues the reader can easily acknowledge in Rousseau’s Nouvelle Héloise. In particular, Cottin’s novel tells the story of a young lady caught in a love triangle. She is constantly at war with herself when it comes down to virtue or to surrendering to unbridled passions, an inner conflict which in essence reflects the didactic tone breathed throughout the novel. The primary objective of this study is to carry out an overall analysis of Claire d’Albe and to study in depth the novel’s translated version into Spanish, entitled Clara de Alba. Novelita en cartas and published anonymously in 1822.

Resumen: Las presentes páginas pretenden constituirse como una guía útil para el estudio de la novela sobre los Borja de autor español, aunque no exclusivamente, publicada en los últimos veinticinco años. La ingente producción, nacional e internacional, centrada en la insigne familia valenciana imposibilita abarcar en un trabajo de estas características un panorama totalizador, que dejamos para un futuro, si bien podemos ofrecer unas claves interpretativas. Y es que, si bien el periplo de los Borja es absolutamente extraordinario, también lo es su continua re-escritura, que obliga casi a trazar cada cierto tiempo un statu quo de su presencia en las diferentes artes. Palabras clave: familia Borja, novela histórica, narrativa española, leyenda negra, novela contemporánea Abstract: I would like these pages to become a useful guide to study fiction focused on Borgian lineage and written especially, but not exclusively, by Spanish authors throughout the last 25 years. Due to the huge amount of works about the famous Valencian family, both from national and international origin, it is indeed impossible for me at this moment to offer an exhausting panorama. I settle for presenting some interpretative keys. Borgian periplus is as extraordinary as its continuous re-writing, that forces us to devise a periodical statu quo of its presence in different arts.

ResumenA la busca del Colón perdido: modulaciones en torno a la figura del Almirante en tres nuevas novelas históricas latinoamericanas En este trabajo analizamos algunos de los modos en que la nueva novela histórica se relaciona con el material cronístico y documental. Tomamos como punto de referencia uno de los temas centrales de este fenómeno literario, el del descubrimiento y conquista de América, y nos centramos en la manera en que la figura de Cristóbal Colón es abordada por tres novelistas contemporáneos en sus producciones: El arpa y la sombra de Alejo Carpentier, Los perros del Paraíso de Abel Posse y El Conquistador de Federico Andahazi. Respetando una lienalidad cronológica, nos proponemos reflexionar sobre las diferentes modulaciones con que el material histórico y cronístico ha sido tratado por los escritores de ficción seleccionados, para comprender mejor cuáles son los modos en que la “historia” y la “literatura” se mixturan y se entrecruzan. Palabras clave: Nueva novela histórica, Ficción, Crónica, Cristóbal Colón. AbstractIn Search of Lost Columbus: modulations around the figure of Admiral in three new Latin American historical novels In this paper we analyze some of the ways in which the new historical novel relates to the conqueror´s chronicles and historical documents. We take as a point of reference one of the central themes of this literary phenomenon, the discovery and conquest of America, and focus on how the figure of Christopher Columbus is approached by three contemporary novelists in their productions: Alejo Carpentier´s El arpa y la sombra, Abel Posse´s Los perros del Paraíso and El conquistador by Federico Andahazi. Respecting a chronological order, we propose to reflect on the different modulations that the origianl materials have been treated by selected fiction writers, to better understand what are the ways in which 'history' and 'literature' are mixed and crosslinked.Keywords: New Historical Novel, Fiction, Cronicle, Cristopher Columbus.
