Abstract
Throughout this essay I´ll try to introduce the reader in the literary reality that is supposed by three book written in the dawn of what today is known as Colombia.: : Elegías de varones ilustres de Indias written by Juan de Castellanos, Noticias Historiales by Fray Pedro Simón and El Carnero by Juan Rodríguez Freile. This reality is the engine of the behavior portrayed by the european man in the Americas; almost as if they were sacred, or holy, texts, they became belief. The idea of other, that until today wanders in our imagination. A barbaric other, loaded with gold and minion of the devil, an other that didn’t walked in America but most definitely roamed through Europe and whose idea stained the New World’s land with blood.
