Memorias de Leticia Valle (1945) is the fictionalized diary of an eleven-year-old girl who records an "inconceivable" seduction. Set in early twentieth-century Spain, the events she chronicles take place in the village of Simancas, site of a castle that houses a famous archive. Leticia, the archivist, and his wife—Leticia's piano teacher—are the actors in this drama, which is rehearsed in a purely introspective way. The seduction resembles that of a thirteen-year-old girl in show more Dostoyevsky's The Possessed, but it does not result in Leticia's mental or physical destruction. Rather, it acts as the catalyst for a deep questioning and exploration of life. show less
Memorias de Leticia Valle (1945) es el diario ficcionalizado de una niña de once años que registra una seducción "inconcebible". Ambientada en la España de principios del siglo XX, los hechos que narra tienen lugar en el pueblo de Simancas, sitio de un castillo que alberga un famoso archivo. Leticia, el archivero y su esposa —profesora de piano de Leticia— son los actores de este drama, que se ensaya de manera puramente introspectiva. La seducción se asemeja a la de una niña de show more trece años en Los poseídos de Dostoyevsky, pero no resulta en la destrucción física o mental de Leticia. Más bien, actúa como catalizador de un profundo cuestionamiento y exploración de la vida. show less
