%X ABSTRACT: In the thirties, the Ecuadorian literature experiments an important change in its themes as well as in its narrative structure. When romanticism was in vogue in the 19th Century, Two Ecuadorian writers already call our attention powerfully: Juan Montalvo for the purity of his prose, the spirited aspect of his themes and because he was a precursor of modernism. Juan Le¨®n Mera, on the other hand, was highly regarded for his excellent narrative work, especially for following the norms dictated by the European masters. In the 20th Century, in the Hispanic American vanguard era two writers stand out: Pablo Palacio when he breaks social taboos and De la Cuadra one of the stronger initiators of magic realism in South America. "Los Sangurimas", by Jos¨¦ de la Cuadra, is a narrative work that describes the outrageous behavior of a dynasty. The people ¨Cfamily and neighbors- are submitted to one man¡¯ hegemonic power, abuses and repression are intolerable. "Los Sangurimas" denounce and, at the same time, affirms the cruelty of caciquismo which acted in any village, large or small, becoming an endemic characteristic of the 19th and 20th Centuries in Latin America. Likewise, in this work we find analogies in the structure, the themes, and the characters which are introduced by the geography. All this is done, with the purpose to emphasize and to analyze the improbable, the mythic and the legendary. RESUMEN: Con la literatura ecuatoriana de los a os treinta se produce un cambio importante, tanto en la tem¨¢tica como en la estructura de su narrativa. Dentro del romanticismo, durante el siglo XIX, dos escritores llaman ya la atenci¨®n en este movimiento: Juan Montalvo Fiallos y Juan Le¨®n Mera. El primero, por la pureza del lenguaje, el aspecto combativo de su tem¨¢tica y por ser precursor del modernismo. El segundo, por la calidad de su trabajo literario, al cumplir con lo c¨¢nones dictados por los maestros europeos. En el siglo XX y, dentro de la vanguardia hispanoamericana, dos escritores se imponen por lo innovador de sus enunciados: Pablo Palacio y Jos¨¦ de la Cuadra. Palacio, al romper tab¨²es sociales y De la Cuadra, por tener la reputaci¨®n de ser uno de los iniciadores m¨¢s fuertes del realismo m¨¢gico en Sur Am¨¦rica. "Los Sangurimas", de Jos¨¦ de la Cuadra, es una obra narrativa que describe el comportamiento de una dinast¨ªa que impone su presi¨®n. Las personas -familiares y vecinos- est¨¢n sometidas al proceder hegem¨®nico de un hombre que hace imperar su voluntad y arrasa con todo enunciado o individuo que se cruce en su camino. Esta obra denuncia y, a la vez, af
