El recurso del método recovers the picaresque in the s. XX to reflect on the SpanishAmerican reality with irony, mainly on the figure of the dictator. Carpentier adapts the genre to the Latin American reality. In the first place, this work will analyze the rogue, the Prime Magistrate or President, in the following aspects: his picaresque nature and the differences with respect to the traditional model and variations that Alejo Carpentier makes of the original characteristics; oratory as a constructor of his identity; its rise and fall; and his heroic nature in some respects and vicious in others. Second, the characters' feeling of belonging to a land will be observed. Both the President and his daughter, Ofelia, are divided. They both belong to the Nation they take advantage of and which they despise and want to access the sophistication of Paris. In this sense, the novel establishes a bipolarity between the first, which it refers to as there, and the second, which it names as here. This produces stereotypical images of both spaces. The values that define these poles will be compared to reflect on the problem of the ideal of the self that this manifests.
