Abstract

The article studies the literary image of China, in the Spanish exile literature, through the novels of three authors invited by the chinese government: Sonríe China (1958) by Mª Teresa León and Rafael Alberti and Andanzas por la nueva China (2017) by Cesar M. Arconada. These writers, who were prominent authors of the Edad de Plata (Silver Age) of Spanish literature, narrate the journeys they made to the new China of Mao Zedong after the Communist Revolution. Their experiences present a specific rhetoric that revolves around fascination and dissidence. With this information, common elements and specific features of each author are analysed, together with the study of changes that have taken place in China. All these factors allow us the configuration of a cultural landscape and an appreciation of it.
