ESTRADA HEVIA, Tomás. Myth and violence: an approach to the Ecuadorian novel Siete Lunas y siete serpientes. Valenciana [online]. 2023, vol.16, n.32, pp.173-202. Epub 08-Dez-2023. ISSN 2007-2538. https://doi.org/10.15174/rv.v16i32.695.
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the mythical substratum present in a novel born in this context, Siete lunas y siete serpientes (1970), by the Ecuadorian writer Demetrio Aguilera-Malta. The importance that myth acquires in this novel is the subject of the present study. The different myths and popular beliefs inserted in Malti’s narrative are not a mere cumulative succession of them, but are a fundamental part of the significance of the whole work as a whole.
