Abstract: Magical realism is a narrative form that emerges from the rich soil of Latin American literature. This research paper explores the complex connection between political narratives and acts of resistance, as shown in Gabriel García Márquez ́s One Hundred Years of Solitude and Isabel Allende ́s The House of Spirits. Both novels transcend time as literary masterpieces and serve through time as macro analysis through the canvas of historical turmoil concerning the struggles of Latin American societies. This research will, therefore, compare aspects of these novels, from the dynamic interplay of power in action to the intertextual dialogue between them, revealing in more detail how each text responds to concerns with memory, identity and legacy. Both novels are cultural touchstones tracing those struggles against authoritarian regimes and social injustices, documenting how the personal and collective narratives converge on a frame of magical realism. By comparing magical realism as a literary tool enabling the deconstruction of power dynamics and a means of resistance between the two authors, this study sheds light on how magical realism functions as a genre of political discourse. Auditory care in life and the mind, unique selves in love, loss, trauma, and transcendence are generously supported by what the authors offer the reader. Utilising a blend of narrative styles—intertextuality and metafiction—this combination acts as connective tissue in both writers’ work, allowing readers access to more significant themes of society, struggle, and the resilient human spirit. This research will, therefore, explore aspects of the novels, from the dynamic interplay of power in action to intertextual dialogue between them, revealing in greater detail how each text engages with concerns with memory, identity and legacy.
