Abstract
This work analyses the novel El viento de la luna,
published in 2006 by Muñoz Molina: it is the story
of a thirteen-year-old boy who lives in Mágina,
fascinated by the Apollo XI space mission and by
the adventures of its commander, Neil Armstrong.
Through his point of view, the historical reality of
1969 acquires private nuances. At the same time,
the exchange of the perspective between earth and
moon plays an essential role in the novel, which
becomes in this way a song of love of the author
towards his country and towards literature, the
real consolation and meaning of experiences.
