Resumen:

Desde la perspectiva filológica e histórica, se estudian dos documentos en que Pedro Porter narra un mismo viaje al golfo de California; uno donde justifica sus exploraciones ante las autoridades y otro, de estilo novelesco, encaminado a la exaltación de sí mismo como personaje épico. Valora textualmente fronteras y vínculos entre la historia y ficción.

Abstract:

A pair of documents in which Pedro Porter narrates one same travel to the Gulf of California are studied from a philological and philosophical perspective. In one, he justifies his explorations to the authorities; and in the other, written as a novel, he exalts himself as an epic character. The study textually valuates the borders and links between history and fiction.
