RAFAEL AZCONA'S PISITO REVISITED FROM THE CURRENT SOCIOECONOMIC CONTEXT

Abstract

This essay aims at recovering one of the most emblematic works of Spanish novelist and screenplay writer Rafael Azcona. Special attention shall be paid to the social reality portrayed in the novel El Pisito, a reality that, according to my viewpoint, allows us to establish an impressing parallelism between the narrated events, which are set in the difficult historical context of the 1950s, and the current circumstances of severe social and economic crisis.
