Evita Perón and "Che" Guevara: From history to literary construction of biographical myths

Eva Peron and Che Guevara are two of the Argentine paradigmatic figures, internationally known through not only their lives, which can be reconstructed from historical documents, but by the national - and international - myth that early death has built for both, with the help of literature and film, fictionally expanding the revolutionary nuances in their actions. This text is proposed, therefore, to present these fictional "layers" that make up the esthetic construction of the two biographical myths having impact on the perception of both true characters, particularly the considered by great public.
