García Saraví and Juan Goytisolo: concept of time
Abstract
The article is an attempt at a comparative analysis of texts by a contemporary Castillian writer, whose
literary beginnings may be said to be rooted in the 1950s, and an Argentinean writer from La Plata, who
belongs to the generation of the 1940s. What the two writers have in common is a worship of the word
and similar subject matters, touching upon issues of universal character, such as life, death, the passage
of time and the meaning of human existence. The thesis of the article is the following: the theme of the
passage of time is the primary subject in the oeuvre of both representatives of Spanish literature. In the
works of both the Argentinean and the Castillian writer there are clearly audible echoes of Gongola.
Patterning themselves on Goya’s pictures, especially his “Atrocities of War”, the two use light and shadow
in a similar way. Our aim was to make a comparative analysis of stylistic features of both artists and
their method of creating a poetic image. Noticing the visual character of the metaphors used, we proceeded
in our analysis by a method of active reading on the syntactical and phonetic planes. Subject to analysis
are selected sonnets of García Saraví and some essays and novels by Juan Goytisolo.
