The history of the Dominican Republic is cluttered with a string of bloody fights, invasions, wars, cruel dictatorships, military occupations and aggressive natural disasters.

La storia della Repubblica Dominicana è stata tristemente costellata, fin dalle origini, da un susseguirsi di sanguinose lotte, invasioni, guerre, feroci dittature, occupazioni militari e violente calamità naturali. Tuttavia, l’Era di Trujillo è ricordata dal popolo dominicano come il periodo più penoso e buio, che ha profondamente marcato il suo passato e la cui essenza si trascina silenziosa nel suo presente. Rafael Leonidas Trujillo Molina, pur essendo solo l’ultimo dei tiranni che hanno oppresso il popolo quisqueyano, è riconosciuto come uno dei dittatori più spietati dell’America Latina. Il suo diabolico carisma, accompagnato dalla crudeltà delle sue azioni, ha lasciato una traccia indelebile nell’identità e nell’animo della sua gente, diventando un’ispirazione letteraria che ha saputo dare vita, valicando anche i confini dell’isola, alla novela del trujillato. La presente ricerca si concentrerà sull’evoluzione della novela del trujillato e del personaggio letterario di Trujillo nel contesto dominicano e all’interno dei romanzi scritti da autori stranieri come Galíndez di Manuel Vázquez Montalbán, En el tiempo de las mariposas di Julia Álvarez, La Fiesta del Chivo di Mario Vargas Llosa e La breve y maravillosa vida de Óscar Wao di Junot Díaz.

Abstract
The history of the Dominican Republic is cluttered with a string of bloody fights, invasions, wars, cruel dictatorships, military occupations and aggressive natural disasters. Nevertheless the Dominicans remember the ‘Trujillo’s Era’ as the darkest and more sorrowful period, that has deeply scarred their past and whose essence silently drags on in their present. Rafael Leonidas Trujillo Molina is only the last dictator who has oppressed the Dominican people, but he is known as one of the most vicious and ruthless dictators that have plagued Latin America. His diabolic charisma and his cruel actions have indelibly marked the identity and the soul of his people, becoming a literary inspiration that could cross the island’s confines and give rise to the novela del trujillato. This thesis aims to analyze the evolution of the novela del trujillato and the character of Trujillo both in the Dominican context and in the novels, written by foreign authors, Galíndez by Manuel Vázquez Montalbán, En el tiempo de las mariposas by Julia Álvarez, La Fiesta del Chivo by Mario Vargas Llosa and La breve y maravillosa vida de Óscar Wao by Junot Díaz.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
