| description | During the Spanish Civil War, Max Aub was part of that collective of Republicans that fled the country escaping from death once Franco reached power. As a writer, Aub used all his energy to compile in a series of six novels -The Magic Labyrinth- as many events as possible that were connected to the three years prior to the beginning of the dictatorship. His goal was, mainly, to compile events, as a chronist. In these chronicles, a fundamental topic arises: the effects of war on the production, reception and preservation of art. Writers, painters, musicians find themselves, suddenly, between cross fire. It seems impossible not to take sides. At least that is what Aub does, and he explains the shift in his ars poetica in Historia de la Novela Española Contemporánea, where he distances himself from his former mentor, Ortega y Gasset. Thus, he abandons the path of the dehumanization of art and focuses more in a realist literature, that shows the artist in the middle of war. |

Durante la Guerra Civil Española, Max Aub fue parte de ese colectivo republicano que huyó de la muerte exiliándose tras la llegada de Franco. En calidad de escritor, Aub utilizó todas sus energías para recopilar en una serie de seis novelas -El Laberinto Mágico- eventos relacionados con esos tres años previos a la dictadura. En medio de la crónica sobresale un tema vital: los efectos de la guerra en la producción, recepción y preservación del arte. Los escritores, pintores, músicos, se ven, de repente, en medio de un fuego cruzado donde parece imposible no tomar partido. Al menos así lo expresa Aub en su Historia de la Novela Española Contemporánea, donde se desmarca de su maestro, Ortega y Gasset, abandona la línea de la deshumanización del arte y se enfoca en una literatura realista que nos muestra al artista en medio de la guerra.
