Max Aub. El laberinto del siglo XX

Exhibition on Max Aub, one of the great names of contemporary Spanish literature, tracing his career through his commitment to the Second Republic, his exile in Mexico and his dual ties to Spain and the Americas.

The exhibition at the Centro Sefarad-Israel follows the intellectual and literary trajectory of the writer, from his involvement with the Republic to the years of his exile in Mexico. The itinerary also addresses his Jewish roots and his multiple identity, a starting point for understanding some of the tensions of twentieth-century Spain seen from an unusual angle.

The galleries bring together the different facets of his output: his fiction, theatre and film, as well as his role in the cultural and intellectual life of his time. The display is designed for anyone who wants to get to know Aub's work at a leisurely pace, through a presentation that links his biography with the texts that run through it.

The exhibition is sponsored by the Secretaría de Estado de Memoria Democrática and held in collaboration with the Fundación Max Aub. It is complemented by a cycle of lectures and screenings and by a catalogue that brings together more than twenty contributions from specialists in his life and work.
