This book offers a stylistic analysis of an early-twentieth-century Venezuelan writer known for his travel accounts, stories, novels, and essays. It concentrates on three novels: Ídolos rotos, Sangre patricidia, and Peregrina. It discusses contexts (criollismo and modernismo), summarizes plots, and examines sense impressions, imagery, and syntactic devices.
One of the most prevalent characteristics of modernistic prose and poetry, an emphasis on sense impressions, is quite evident in Diaz Rodrfguez` three novels. Particularly common are impressions of color, and various kinds of auditory sensations, but there are also evocations of odors, various tactile sensations, and a few allusions to taste.
Color
The number of color words or words suggestive of colors (such as sangre or nieve or names of precious stones or flowers) used in the novels is quite large, but in general they fall into the following generic groups: red, white, green, blue, yellow, black, purple, gray, brown, silver, and orange (extremely rare). Red, white, green, blue, yellow, and black are clearly the preferred colors in all the novels, the others appearing less frequently, or not at all, but colors do not appear with the same degree of frequency, nor are color allusions used for the same purpose in all the works.
The distribution of generic colors is revealing, as is that of many of the specific terms, as one compares the early modernistic Idolos, the quintessential modernistic Sangre, and the primarily criollista Peregrina (see Table II). In Sangre generic green, red, white, and blue, which occur with nearly equal frequency, clearly predominate over the other colors (some of which do not appear).
Since, as will be seen, these colors are often used symbolically and linked to structural elements in the novel, their preponderance might be expected. It will also be noted that green, white, and blue occur with considerably greater frequency in Sangre than in the other novels, indicating their more strategic function in that novel. Red clearly predominates in Idolos, where it will also be seen to be used symbolically and linked to structure, and in Peregrina, in which symbolic associations are minimal but where it figures prominently as a descriptive
The frequency of generic yellow and purple is much greater in the criollista Peregrina, with its emphasis on the natural setting (purple does not appear in Sangre and is rare in Idolos), and brown and silver, which do not occur in Sangre, are also more common in Peregrina than in Idolos. The expanded palette of Peregrina also includes one evocation of orange, which is not found in the earlier novels. Although Peregrina retains many modernistic characteristics, the low frequency of blue, the modernists` favorite, is an indication of the shift to a more criollista orientation.
There is a more noticeable tendency in Sangre than in the other novels to employ specific color words that are more "poetic" than simply descriptive. Armino^ cdndido, candidez glauco, and dureo appear more frequently than in the other works, and cdrdeno and roseo appear only in Sangre. On the other hand, the palette of Peregrina includes a number of specific descriptive terms not found in the other works flamigero, rojeante, rojez, rojizo, dmbar, amarilleado, amarillito, azabache, ebano, amatista, morado, and cobrizo.
