Basing itself upon the assumptions of Compared Literature, the present research aims to demonstrate that the dialogical relations established between the Spanish and the Hispano-American literature, when referred to the productions that handle with the theme of the discovery of America, after the publication of Vigilia del Almirante (1992), by the Paraguayan writer Augusto Roa Bastos. Such work reveals itself as a sort of synthesis of the Hispano-American vision about the theme, working like a parting of the waters when it comes to the production of historical novels, being produced from it, in the context of the discovery poetics, only mediation contemporary historical novels. This happens also in Spain, that for the first time, within this context, presents a work that deals with a distinct perspective from the one traditionally adopted by Spanish authors, promoting the dialogue with the Hispano- American literature. This is the novel Carta del fin del mundo (1998), by Jose Manuel Fajardo, a narrative that presents a discourse that seeks to reveal a new aspect of the meeting between both worlds under the perspective of the colonized. Parting from both works mentioned as corpus, the objective is, first of all, to destacate the apologetic discourse present in the Spanish productions, to, afterwards, approach the Hispano-American production of the theme initiated in the 70's decade of the 20th century to show that the modality of the new historical novel, synthesized in the work of Roa Bastos (1992), ended up influencing the productions about the discovery in European lands, that began to question not only the figure of Christopher Columbus, but also the whole discovery enterprise, establishing the dialogue with the Hispano-American tradition. It will also be taken in consideration that the work by Fajardo (1998) does not characterize itself as an isolated manifestation of the Spanish literature, once one can also observed the publication of the trilogy La pérdida del paraíso (2002), by Jose Luis Muñoz that presents the same mediation tendencies, in the terms proposed by Fleck (2008).
