Abstract

The narrative of the twenties in Latin America extends significantly the areas of fiction, by transforming the spaces in engines of narrative action and the material objects in its protagonists. The novels of Mexican Revolution works in this same direction, and the objects of modernity (trains, guns, planes etc.) form a universe where the relationship among men and reality of things is not merely utilitarian but extremely complex. This article seeks to examine some of the novels of the twenties to demonstrate how, next to the myth of the Revolution, they build an image of the Revolution as door of the Modernity, as the moment of passage between the XIXth Century and the new one.
