Las experiencias de muchos de estos misioneros se han conservado a través de una abundante literatura misional redactada por los propios miembros de la Compañía de Jesús y que conoció una auténtica edad de oro durante esta etapa. Tomando como ejemplo algunas de las obras más emblemáticas, el artículo propone en análisis de algunos de los rasgos que definen la estructura narrativa de este género literario, tan importante en la actividad propagandística de las acciones evangelizadoras realizadas por los jesuitas en las tierras americanas. The second half of the seventeenth century was a period of advance and consolidation for the Jesuit missions in the northern and eastern borderlands of the Peruvian viceroyalty. The experiences of many missionaries are preserved in a vast missionary literature written by the members of the Society of Jesus itself. This literature went through a genuine 'golden age' at the time. On grounds of some of its most emblematic works, this article proposes an analysis of some characteristics defining the narrative structures of this literary genre, which played an important role in the Jesuit propaganda on evangelization in South America.
