We intend to present and discuss examples of the way in which the Inca Garcilaso, who has earned an important place in the field of the historiographical, as a great chronicler of important moments of the Peruvian past (the Empire of Tahuantinsuyo, the civil wars, the establishment of colonial rule), has become, by the action of certain writers, a literary character of some stories or novels to fictionalise important moments in the life of the first Peruvian mestizo or subsequent events to your death, but related to the growing impact of his personality and his work in Peruvian society.
