ABSTRACT
Why an article about three novels about the Spanish Civil War? And, why
precisely these three? It is well known that the Spanish fratricide drama has be-come
one of the more-written about historical events, inside and outside Spanish
borders, because of the passions that it raised and the interest it still provokes.
Even if the historiographer Ricardo de la Cierva spoke about nearly
15000 inputs in his famous bibliographical revision for Ariel publishing com-pany
in the now far 1968, that still was an incomplete census. Several novels,
based on personal experiences or totally fiction, could be found among that
huge amount of books, but it has to be said that but for exceptions, their value
has decreased along the time because of the strong political charge of most of
them. Surprisingly, the war novel genre, understood as those soldiers’ stories
where ideology is only in the background, has hardly been used by the authors
on writing about the Spanish conflict. These three novels now presented, some
kind of models in their genre, may be an exception.
KEYWORDS: War novel, Spanish Civil War, Cecilio Benitez de Cas-tro,
All Quiet on the Western Front, Pedro Garcia Suarez, Spanish Foreign
Legion literature, Salvador Garcia de Pruneda, the Cavalry in the literature.
