Abstract

Ever since Abel Posse’s first works, the author’s narrative has been drawing the difficult map of the indentity of America. With time, it has progressively been focusing on the author’s own country, Argentina. All his narrative about charismatic heroes or antiheroes of the American conquest represents the pieces of an identity puzzle. From there it advanced towards the flood of ideas and European philosophies transplanted to its territory, as is the case of the novels that this paper deals with: Los demonios ocultos and El viajero de Agartha, belonging to the so-called ‘Nazi cycle’ of the author. Both works constitute a revealing mosaic of the implications of Nazism not only for Europe, but also for his own country, through the gaze of Alberto Werner Lorca, the son of a Spanish woman and German man.
