LA GUERRE D’ESPAGNE – MÉMOIRE COLLECTIVE SOUS L’OPTIQUE DES DEUX ÉCRIVAINS MALRAUX ET MARKO

SPANISH WAR – COLLECTIVE MEMORY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF TWO WRITERS MALRAUX AND MARKO The Civil War of Spain is a distant event in time, but very alive thanks to men of letters, respectively Malraux and Marko, the one French and the other Albanian. I would try to bring their perspective on this collective memory, which although it is a factual event, is evoked by the two authors in a rather original way. Through his novel entitled Man’s hope Malraux undertakes a general study of a revolutionary crisis among different groups of characters. Endearing to war, horror, fear and death a sense of brotherhood and peaceful coexistence, he manages to make us think that even in times of war there is hope for better days in the world to come up. All that organized according to a structure in movement. The novel entitled Hasta la Vista marks the author’s attempt to evoke a rather broad plan of the the Civil War front, a glorious epic of the Spanish people written with the blood of Albanian volunteers and other peoples. As supporters of the aspirations of the Spanish people, Albanian volunteers fight for a better reality in Albania. Keywords: Spanish war, collective memory, optics, hope.
