Érase una vez «un reino de literatura...». (Spanish)

Once upon a time there was “a kingdom of literature ... ". (English)

This paper presents an analysis, based on different texts by Javier Marías, of the history of the King- dom of Redonda: a «kingdom by the sea», both real and fictitious, with more than one language but without subjects; a literary dynasty that is not transmitted by blood and whose king without sovereign- ty is no other, at present, than the very Marías himself. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

En este artículo se analiza, a partir de distintos textos de Javier Marías, la historia del reino de Redonda: un «reino junto al mar» a la vez real y ficticio con más de una lengua pero sin súbditos, una dinastía literaria que no se transmite por la sangre y cuyo rey sin soberanía no es otro, actualmente, que el propio Marías.
