Abstract

Hipólito Esteban Soler analyzes the narratology of El fulgor y la sangre, by Ignacio Aldecoa, critically and precisely. In Aldecoa's work, subjectivity and objectivity are mixed and the intrahistory of marginal characters is captured, making the day-to-day very significant due to the way it is narrated. The characters are not trivial, but complex, as well as their daily challenges and moral crossroads. It is a clear example of social literature. On the other hand, there are various symbolisms in the work and there is a special treatment of objects and animals. Regarding its internal and formal structure, a perfect cohesion between all the parts and an ending that oozes humanism and existentialism is clearly seen.
