We studies the political, aesthetic, andexistential trajectory of this author, whose literary purpose it was to create a form of art which wouldeschew both the playfulness of art for art¡¯s sake and the heavy-handedness of propaganda. Thistrajectory, however, culminates in failure, as the project of a redeeming humanism is revealed to beimpossible: ultimately, the stories renounces all kinds of idealization to embrace nihilism, thusprefiguring the themes of Plaja¡¯s poems of exile. %K Arturo Serrano Plaja %K Generaci¨®n del 36 %K narrativa b¨¦lica %K Guerra Civil Espa ola %K exilio %U http://www.impossibilia.org/static/descargas/numero-4/proyecto-existencial-politico-estetico-cielo-escombro-arturo-serrano-plaja-andrea-bresadola.pdf
