Authors

  • Maria Helena Sansão Fontes UERJ

Keywords:

Pepetela, history, Angola.

Abstract

Analysis of Pepetela’s three novels - The glorious family, Yaka and The plateau and the steppe - under the bias of historiographic metafiction, noting that those events that weave their plots are complementary, providing a sequential view of historical facts, reinvented by the imaginary that revisits the historical memory in a autorreflexive and subjective way.
