Bouvard and Pécuchet "ruralismo necessary work wardrobe
A cursory reading of this novel may lead to consider itself work wardrobe a ruralismo own narrative of the Renaissance, even a kind of Maxine date and that it is not appropriate in the current state of evolution of Galician literature. There will be a critic out there, that for the sake of supposed modernity work wardrobe or postmodernity, will say that the novel is a delay in the process work wardrobe of upgrading and urbanization and so universal that is experiencing the narrative. But Paul until yesterday was a predominantly rural society and we have the age of the author of this novel (and even younger and not as those who are older) live in a rural world as it presents the novel. Therefore, this novel is rural so necessary in Galician work wardrobe literature such as novels or urban posturbanas not deserve to be washed so that the times seem Renaissance. The novel, if you have something good, is supporting many subgenres and rural novels like this have their place in the narrative present.
The novel, developed in rural areas, work wardrobe it is also a historical and ethnographic document on the Galician village of post-war, especially the Galician village of the forties and fifties work wardrobe of the past century, or even the early sixties.
The author, work wardrobe with the techniques of the traditional story, offers a year of life (between mesh and mesh) in a village in the valley Barcala. In a first impression may seem that the protagonists are the couple Carmela-Manuel, but a more careful reading I think seeing a character group represented by all the inhabitants of the village, but taking a particular relevance to the world of women. Although the life of men is hard, sacrificed in this big world that portrays rural Iglesias tour are women. Neither the feast day of rest and is, paradoxically for them, the more work day of the year.
The author dates the novel, giving the day a couple Carmela-Manuel, depart for emigration in 1956. This way the reader knows that the story takes place between the mesh of 1955 and the year 1956. And indeed, the novel is a historical and ethnographic document about life in the Galician village in the fifties work wardrobe and the early sixties, before the transformation of society and especially the Galician countryside which will take place from the development policy of the second half of the sixties. The village of Iglesias work wardrobe Turner is a world where old traditions still survive and communal festivals like Sega, knitting, work wardrobe carnivals ... but also a tremendously tough environment, especially, as we have seen for women, where Franco and dominate but the National- . In this respect the behavior of the Guardia Civil, work wardrobe the cleric's gift Salvador or references to the Civil War and the persecution of the Republicans are expressive of what was in the agro Franco. The situation of women and sexual morality ulturamachista the controls is also worthy of note.
When we talk of ruralismo or even festivals and traditions, we believe that Iglesias Turner work wardrobe falls into ruralismo edénico work wardrobe or a mystification of the land to the way some of the novels of Otero Pedrayo or Cunqueiro. But there is nothing like that. There are obviously positive, as we have seen. But, in the end of the novel, the reader is left with the feeling of delay, exploitation and misery in developing the rural life in the fifties, also drowned at National-especially with regard to the condition of women.
This is a peasant society, but with class. On the one hand, there are those who speak Spanish and hold economic power and ideological (the doctor, the teacher, the priest, the Civil Guard sergeant). Then Mayor Franco, representative of the winners of the war. After the rich farmers, as Varela, and then continue smallholders, caseteiros, laborers, finally the poor to borrow. There are a very cruel sentence that reflects well this social stratification of the land in the fifties: Never play with the children of the poor farmers to borrow. Never pick by hand (p. 263). Also missing the violence, even tremendista, as the case of battered work wardrobe women and suicide, the abuse of men towards women, rape or even revenge attack.
Really poor farmers in this world have only one way out: the emigration to America (Montevideo, Buenos Aires, Havana). The author rightly presents the migration of ambivalent work wardrobe way. It's sad because it separates the family, work wardrobe the environment, from a tradition where he grew up. But it is joyful work wardrobe because it provides an opportunity to economic progress, better work wardrobe living and to freedom, because the village is often a means for control sweltering nacionalcatólica or social, based on the principles of this nacionalcatolicismo. So those who migrate díselles not cry because you're going to go and clean clothes camp .. (P. 123) or the children do not go to
