Popis: The stylistic competence of the Inca Garcilaso de la Vega allows him to draw on various narrative subgenres that lie between literary and historical fiction —the historical case, the relation, the news, the anecdote, the fable, the historical fable, the event, the story— in order to illustrate the discourse in his Comentarios Reales [1609]. With this, Garcilaso follows the tradition of the ‘deleitare aprovechando’ of his time without abandoning his humanistic intentions of didactic character. This article presents a proposal for the classification of these narrative subgenres.
