Popis: From a text by the historian Joaquin Fernandois about the function of travel writing, this essay proposes a new reading of the essays of Gabriela Mistral and Luis Oyarzún. In both these authors, traveling is considered, on one hand, as allegory that enables them to organize their discourse and, on the other, as ‘experience' beyond the merely rhetorical. It is in this direction that certain ideas are discussed concerning the form adopted by present day travel writers, in the light of Fernandois' hypothesis.
