Lorenzo Cilda (1906/1929): A “Beautiful Ecuadorian Novel” Between Anachronisms and Chimeras

The purpose of this article is to explore and evaluate the novel Lorenzo Cilda, by Víctor Manuel Rendón from Guayaquil, originally written in French between 1903 and 1906 and published as a book in 1929. Although it became known in Ecuador at a late point in time, its plot and style allow us to consider the work as representative of the aesthetics and imagination of the inter-century period in the country, so it is interesting to (re)visit the novel both to grant a space for it within the framework of the strengthening of the novel genre in the local tradition and to study it as a materialization, in the key of fiction, of the ideals and visions of an intellectual class linked to the economic and political project of historical liberalism.
