Study of a particular type of fiction on violence through La sangre derramada of José Pablo Feinmann. This work where appear the founding accounts of the country (El Matadero, Facundo, Amalia), sets up, through chronicle and essay, the montonera peronist experience and reveals the violence of the Seventies in Argentina. The essay in question connects the origins of the nation in the XIXth century with the experience known as the national left, integrating it into the inheritance of the «national» literature. Criticism is analysed as knowledge, responsibility and method and violence as historical insufficiency. By the width and the heterogeneity of the political, philosophical and cultural spectrum approached, the work of Feinmann expresses a will of total comprehension of the past and the present. His writing, organized in a form of an immense compendium of readings, shows the desire of knowing all as well as his own limits which are dependent on a determined psychological, social historical context.
