• Resumen

  • The autobiographical experience of exile becomes the axis around which are structured a variety of fiction and non-fiction texts written by Xavier Benguerel (Barcelona, 1905-1990). Although they are fictional recreations, the works discussed here represent an important inflexion within the corpora of testimonial texts as they become highly relevant to the study of the representation of the experiences of the Catalans in French camps, as well as the literary construction of a desired return to a country under the regime of Franco's dictatorship
