- Abstract (English) :
- Carmen Laforet (Barcelona, 1921-Madrid, 2004) is one of the most prominent twentieth-century Spanish writers. Her literary production shows a particular interest in the nature, with a particular emphasis on her ties with the sea, as we observe in La isla y los demonios (1952). Her hometown, Barcelona, brings to her the culture of the Mediterranean maritime world. On the other hand, her childhood and youthful stay in Gran Canaria -when she was two years old her family moved to this island, where she lived until her return to Barcelona in 1939- gives her the knowledge of Atlanticity. La isla y los demonios is the second novel by Carmen Laforet, aft er a successful Nada, winner of the fi rst Nadal Prize. The story is situated on the island of Gran Canaria, and even though the biographical allusions are not exact, they are similar to those lived by the author. The protagonist, Marta Camino, is a young orphan of lively spirit whose father has died and whose mother has become ill. Her rebellion interconnects with her great feeling for the nature, in which the space of the sea and its symbolism acquire great relevance. The novel highlights, above all, that nexus established between Marta Camino and the sea, which symbolizes for the girl the harmony and freedom to fl ee and leave behind the demons of the island.
