This article discusses two novels by Cuban writer Leonardo Padura (El hombre que amaba a los perros y La novela de mi vida) which do not belong to the pólice cycle of the character Mario Conde but who share various both structural and thematic aspects that facilitate the joint examination. Both novels work with biographical and empirical material and set ambitious perspectives on the history of Cuba, starting from the degradation of the Communist utopia and of the liberal project of independence, respectively. In that sense, the two novels connect with the large narrative projects of the boom Latin American of the second half of the century XX
(withAlejo Carpentier, especially), but offering a post-utopian vision in which the decline of the Communismi s even more intense that the of the nationalism.
