Abstract :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.
