La història, creadora de mites
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Literary survival of a catalan miners’town in Aragonia sunk by Franco’s decision under the waves
of the Ebro. The collective memory of its community works as a source of inspiration and of oral history
for its chronicler, himself too son of the town. Only memory can keep alive the town after its death and
the writer, responsible of collecting and registering it does a brilliant job. The inspired literary
reconstruction of the town is represented as a broken mirror, reflecting more than one aspect of each
person and event from different angles, thus offering the readers a perfectly authentic though fictional
source of history, that of a compromised eyewitness.
