Description
Summary:Bernabé Demaría (1824-1910), Argentine writer, politician and painter, has written an only novel, Revelaciones de un manuscrito (1869). On its pages, geographic space -Europe in the first part, Argentine in the second one- becomes structural agent, having in account that the novel is a Bildungsroman, where the motive of travel articulates not only the horizontal (spatial) movement but the vertical one (spiritual and social) of the protagonist, Florencio Indarte. Beside romantic topics, realistic traces appear: a careful spatial location of the plot, accumulate details through which is reinforced the "reality effect", didactical discourse which encloses a copious scientific encyclopaedia. The forgotten novel of Bernabé Demaría has to be specially taken in account in any research on the origins of realism in Argentine novel.
