Children’s Images in Manuel Rivas’s Works about the Civil War and the Francoist Dictatorship
Year: 2022
Type: article
Abstract: The aim of the study is to determine the features of using children’s images in M. Rivas’s works “Quiet Voices”, “Loaf of Bread” and “Butterfly’s Tongue”. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that for the first time the author analyses the writer’s appeal to children’s images in works dedicated to the events of the civil war and the Francoist dictatorship in Spain. As a result of the analysis of these works, it has been found that, thanks to the use of children’s images, the writer manages to recreate the emotional background of a certain historical era. The comparison with the world of adults and the outside world (historical events) allows tracing the transformations that a child’s world undergoes in a critical historical era.
