Prolific author of collections of short stories, microstories and novels, Manuel Moyano has developed over the years a narrative universe characterized by a disenchanted vision of reality and a clear writing in constant balance between a realist representation of facts and the creation of dystopian worlds. This study aims to analyze how Moyano builds worlds parallel to ours starting from the three different literary genres mentioned above: in particular, some passages from the novel El imperio de Yegorov (2014) will be analysed as well as some stories from the collection Los Reinos de Otrora (2019) and some microstories from the Teatro de ceniza collection (2011). Through the creation of these dystopian worlds, Manuel Moyano also elaborates a constant philosophical reflection on time as an unsolvable enigma and as a supporting element of the chronotopes of these different fictitious universes.
