Paradigms of the Cervantes metafiction: the writing in Persiles

Through his customary metaliterary formulation Cervantes concludes in the Persiles a worldview of writing as a speculative expression of the act of creation and reception of the story in fiction, associated with rhetorical, epistemological and literary motifs in the Byzantine genre. The Persiles universe allows us to discover the last attempt of Cervantes to unleash the meanders of writing as a reflexive expansion of the writer's condition, the composition of the story, its intrinsic reception and the awareness of the relations between reality and invention. The prologue of Persiles is an eloquent statement of writing as a circumflex act of existence itself.
