Juan Bosch, a politically persecuted. A glimpse of "El hombre que lloró".
Keywords:
Politics., Literature., Narrative., Society and injusticeAbstract
The aim of this work is to highlight the transition between the fictional sphere and politics, under the method of Eagleton’s theory of reception.
Juan Bosch, committed to the Dominican reality, as Núñez Polanco has pointed out, perhaps the social denunciation of his narrative was not enough and he had to take a step forward in the political arena to fight against the dictatorial enemy: Rafael Leonidas Trujillo. Hence the exile, hence the political persecution that did not end with the death of Trujillo, but rather continued with Joaquin Balaguer, the other face of the Trujillo dictatorship.
