Abstract
Los Mercaderes, de Ana María Matute, se abre con "Primera memoria" y, a lo largo de la década de los sesenta, sigue con "Los soldados lloran de noche" y, finalmente, "La trampa". Sin embargo, la interrupción en trama y estructura que supone la segunda entrega hizo que buena parte de la crítica pusiese en duda la condición de trilogía de Los mercaderes. El presente trabajo tiene por objeto tomar como referencia tres temas fundamentales en estas novelas y en la narrativa matuteana —la infancia, la relación entre niños y adultos, y la Guerra Civil— y, mediante la evolución de su relación a lo largo de Los mercaderes, ofrecer alguna respuesta acerca de su naturaleza de conjunto.
Los Mercaderes, by Ana María Matute, starts with "Primera memoria" and is followed through the sixties by "Los soldados lloran de noche" and, finally, "La trampa". However, the interruption in plot and structure that is its second part made that a wide section of the critics doubt whether or not Los mercaderes was in fact a trilogy. This paper attempts to take as a reference three vital themes in these novels and also in the works by Matute— childhood, the relationship between children and adults, and the Spanish Civil War— and, by studying the evolution of their relationship all along Los mercaderes, offer some answer about it being a whole.
