Synopsis of Madrid en la novela, V

«Madrid en la novela, V» is the anthology by Julia Barella Vigal and Francisco Gutiérrez Carbajo, published by the Community of Madrid in paperback (298 pages).

The volume brings together fragments of novels set in Madrid during the civil war and the postwar period. The city is the setting for the conflict in narratives by Ramón J. Sender, Max Aub, Agustín de Foxá and Arturo Barea; the passages by Cela and Martín Santos reflect the subsequent desolation. Fiction thus becomes historical testimony.

Fifth volume of the collection «Madrid en la literatura», published by the Department of Education and Culture of the Community of Madrid in 1996.

For readers interested in twentieth-century Spanish narrative and in how literature portrayed Madrid during the war and postwar period.
