The article analyzes the projection of debates regarding the role of artists and intellectuals after the triumph of the Cuban Revolution and the Padilla case in three novels: En mi jardín pastan los héroes, by Heberto Padilla; El libro de Manuel, by Julio Cortázar and La guerra del fin del mundo, by Mario Vargas Llosa. The objective is to examine the differences between the authors artistic visions of the political and intellectual disenchantment that arose around Cuba in the gray quinquennium through the dialogue between narrative fiction and the historical context of the moment. From this analysis, it can be concluded that political disenchantment is a creative appropriation generating artistic and intellectual reflections addressed by the authors in the three works mentioned.

Keywords : Disenchantment; Cuban Revolution; Padilla Case.
