El invierno en Lisboa, la ciudad de la literatura al cine
Abstract
Antonio Muñoz Molina’s novels offer a very large field to study the relationship between real and imaginaries cities. We have chosen the El invierno en Lisboa (1987) because there we can find much more than the city of Lisbon, as well as many other Muñoz Molina's novels: the contrast between San Sebastián, the city where characters live, and the other, Lisbon, which becomes a myth in itself as it represents the loved one. We will point out that the cities are not only the stage where events unfold but they serve also to deliver an essential message of the book: express the profound existential disappointment of the character. We will also compare this novel and the movie by José Antonio Zorrilla (1990), in order to show the novel's singularity, as tribute to jazz music as well as the movie's limits: the movie focuses the musician figure rather than on the complex relationship between man and city’s space.Downloads
