Abstract

This work examines in detail the first months of the Argentinean exile of Rafael Alberti, that do not take place in Buenos Aires, where he will live during twenty three years afterwards, but in the province of Córdoba. The he will set his residence, just arrived to Argentina, in a little villa called El Totoral, where he begins to make contact with a new landscape and new friends that really become his new homeland. In that clandestine refuge Alberti goes back to writing and his first Argentinean texts show the reaction of the poet to this new environment that receives him away from Spain.
