Abstract
This article proposes an exam of the novel Los ojos vacíos, published in
2000 by the Spanish novelist Fernando Aramburu. The novel inaugurates the
trilogy set in the imagined town of Antíbula and, in spite of presenting date
and events which apparently belong to the historical reality, it is actually an
alienating reproposition of a “possible world”, set in an imaginary time and
a space. With a dystopian approach developed in this kind of fiction, the
author shows a deep idea of the human being, committed in deciphering,
interpreting and understanding History, his destiny, the present time and
his future.
