Abstract
In this article, we will try to work on the intercultural identity that characterizes the two main characters in the novel Eldorado by Laurent Gaudé, a contemporary French writer. In this polyphonic text, two narrative voices take turns to oppose two different points of view of the illegal immigration that has grown in the last decades. Gaudé cries out, through this novel, for human injustice and for the fate of immigrants who arm themselves with an armful of utopian dreams to reach El Dorado. In Eldorado, Laurent Gaudé invites his readers to be vigilant in order to follow the thread of his discontinuous and hybrid story, and to follow the itinerary of the two characters while questioning the impact left in the interior of each character. Eldorado is not only a novel where a story is told, but it is an invitation to rethink this world whose uncertainty and chaos have repercussions on the identity of individuals.
