Space and subjectivity in El camino and Mi idolatrado hijo Sisi, by Miguel Delibes

This article focuses in the relationships between subject and space in El camino and Mi idolatrado hijo Sisi, by Miguel Delibes. Both novels show the reflection on infantry, the formative process and the environment. An important difference appears in the contrast of city and the country area, symbolically present and past. In the two texts there is not a single thesis about man and society, but what the reader has, through dialogues, third person narrative and free indirect style, is a consciousness deciding freely. When we try to establish a relationship between both novels, their time and space, it seems that the second could be in the origin of a society that produces a critical answer in the reader.
