Cándido María Trigueros was a man of encyclopedist mind, deeply interested in science and literature, who cultivated all kinds of literary genres. After his death, his narrative production is collected in Mis pasatiempos. Almacén de fruslerías agradables. In this collection we find a novel entitled Cuatro cuentos en un cuento which serves as a model for shipwreck and captivity stories.
The aim of this paper is to analyze how the author, using a Baroque narrative pattern, displays in his work a renovated model of the castaway-captive character who, stands for the enlightened ideology morality and discourse on one hand and on the other represents the continuity of a literary genre.
