"Aún es de día", de Miguel Delibes: La instalación metafísica como mecanismo de Denuncia social en la ficción

Abstract

With Marías’ conceptual diagram about metaphysical installation, it is possible another interpretation of the Sebastián Ferrón’s life, as an unequal fight with his circumstance. It tourns the novel into a social denunciation of Spanish postwar society. Some interpretations for Aún es de día in the Delibes’ narrative consider this novel only as a tentative. However, this study sets it out a new place as a transition novel for its themes. Although its formal faults, Delibes outlines the majority of his literary preoccupations, next to Julián Marías’ metaphisycal anthropology (from Ortega y Gasset’s vital reason), not to French Christian existentialism.
