| Sumario: | In this work we analyze the constructions made by the writer Manuel Gálvez regarding the Paraguayan War, considering his positions and ideas on the conflict within the context of historical revisionism and the so-called mitrist historiography. Our aim is to establish both similarities and differences between the author and these narratives. Drawing on Gálvez's journalistic articles, historical biographies, and novels, including the trilogy titled 'Scenes of the Paraguayan War' (1928-1929), we argue that many points sustained throughout his intellectual career aligned with the positions presented in mitrist accounts. However, he also maintained some stances similar to those expressed by revisionists, even before affiliating with that group, revealing a complex scenario to reconstruct his perspectives of the conflict. |
