Civil War, Tremendism, GrotesqueAbstract
Camilo José Cela is considered to be one of the renovator writers of the Spanish literature of the twentieth century’s. His work innovates and experiences forms and contents emphasizing grotesque and violent images that represent well the context of the Spanish Civil War and its consequences for the population. Having a complex position between acceptance and opposition to Franco’s dictatorial government, his writing is characterized by a brutal realism that in literature acquires the term “tremendism”. His body of work led him to win the Nobel Prize in literature highlighting the works La familia de Pascual Duarte and La Colmena. Thus, this study seeks to engender briefly a discussion on these Cela’s texts taking into account the human being’s disintegration before the troubled social context, aspects that many writers have committed to demonstrate through art.
