Abstract

59
This article discusses Ganivet´s first novel 'La conquista del reino de Maya por Pío Cid', and deals with the influence on Ganivet's work of European colonialism, especially that of Belgium. He compares Portuguese and Spanish ways of colonization with others which are more utilitarian and which, in the end, are shown to be incapable of bringing about civilization. To make this point Ganivet uses satire, an uncommon genre in Spanish literature of the period about 1900.
