The author focuses on textual analysis and studies how chaos and coincidence appear in these narratives and shape them. The texts analyzed are \u003ci\u003eSoldados de Salamina\u003c\/i\u003e (2001) by Javier Cercas, \u003ci\u003eTu rostro manaña\u003c\/i\u003e (2002-2007) by Javier Marías, \u003ci\u003eLa catedral del mar\u003c\/i\u003e (2006) by Ildefonso Falcones, \u003ci\u003eVolver\u003c\/i\u003e (2006) directed by Pedro Almodóvar, \u003ci\u003eInstrucciones para salvar el mundo \u003c\/i\u003e(2008) by Rosa Montero and \u003ci\u003eEl asedio\u003c\/i\u003e (2010) by Arturo Pérez-Reverte, with reference to other texts by these authors also included. Though very different storytellers, these authors share an interest in chaos as a theme and as a narrative device. This work shows that the recurrence in their stories of the theme of chaos indicates a move away from postmodern apathy to a growing sense of empowerment, both for characters and for their readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55211228856694,"sku":"9783034310185","price":47.22,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_26065712.jpg?v=1738245114","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9783034310185-chaos-and-coincidence-in-contemporary-spanish-fict","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
