Resumo
Alejo Carpentier, in the novel Th e kingdom of this world, written in 1948,
resorts to marvelous realism, in a diegetic narrative, presenting us with real and fi ctional
characters who are in the midst of events in the fi ght for freedom in the French colony, at
that time, São Domingos. We intend to seek in fi ction the threads of the traumatic nar-
rative of Haiti’s independence. Classifi ed as a historical novel, the reading of Th e kingdom
of this world puts history in a new perspective as the novel allows us to see it happening.
Starting from this perception, we intend to explore Carpentier’s writing project, which,
according to our understanding, is a proposal for the deciphering of America.
