Josefina Plá is one of the most important writers of Paraguay although she was born in Spain. When she came to Paraguay in 1927, she immediately began to write, publish, and play an important part in the culture of the country that would be her home for the rest of her life. Her short stories, written from the 1940s but published mainly in the 1980s, are less known than her dramas and poetry. She classified her short stories into three main groups: short stories about uprooted people, short stories about her environs, and short stories with fantastic elements. In all of these groups, we can find stories dealing with the topic of identity. This topic seems to have had a special importance for the author since it also appears in other texts in which she writes about her life and her literature. The topic of identity can be considered as one of the keys to the interpretation of the work by Josefina Plá.

He sailed twice to the Strait of Magellan: on the first voyage he was supposed to explore the Strait, on the second he founded two small villages in the Strait in order to prevent the English pirates to sail through easily. Sarmiento de Gamboa’s voyages were full of dangers and especially the second one ended very unfortunately: Sarmiento de Gamboa was held captive in England and France. From each voyage he wrote a report which are considered an interesting source of information, but there are in both of them, and especially in the second one, also elements of fiction. Sarmiento de Gamboa’s reports correspond the category of travel narratives, but in the second one there is also a strong tendency to mythify Sarmiento de Gamboa’s figure in order to show the king his merits and reclaim a reward. This characteristic leads us to other contemporary travel narratives,...
