Abstract

Study of the narrative methodology used in three recent spanish novels regarding their treatment of the national historical temporality focusing on two especially traumatic episodes of that history: the spanish Civil War and ETA terrorism. The novels are: El monarca de las sombras by Javier Cercas, Patria by Fernando Aramburu and Eva by Arturo Pérez-Reverte. These fictional texts advance a differential version of those episodes and they question the conventional conclusions and evaluation of the facts at hand. At the same time, those novels propose an open hermeneutic reading that may generate new ways of visualizing and evaluating spanish national history.
