Abstract

De algún tiempo a esta parte (1939) is the monologue written by Max Aub that marks the beginning of his literature composed in exile. The work mirrors the contentious reality of Europe at that time, as seen through the character of Emma. This character, a kind of literary alter ego, allows Aub to reveal the repercussions of exile and to condemn the atrocities committed by European totalitarian governments. As a result, this article delves into the construction of collective memory based on the testimony of an individual character, the inner exile experienced by this character and the trauma associated with surviving in a tragic context. It also draws parallels with Aub’s real-life situatio.
