    Annotation:

    Over the past few years, the amnesic wall fronts of Franco's regime and of the Spanish transition are being cracked by a need for pain relief of the democratic heritage, which is deluging one strand of social struggle that has an effect on literature. In this paper, we carefully analyse, from a sociolinguistic approach, La sierra en llamas (1952) and Siempre quedará París (2005). From different viewpoints and quite different allocutions and narrative apparatus, both novels recall anti-Francoist guerrillas dating from the mid-20th century. So far, this is a not seriously considered episode, since it is rather underestimated. It seems to be a trauma that has culminated in the practice of collective guilt, without any responsibility, but which is dealt with by literature. In these two titles one can appreciate a symbolic military arm tied to some kind of displaced Francoism that looks forward to its defeat from victory. Núñez Seixas, (2005) calls them «The defeated victors» and could be considered as a crossroads fight to ride out the downturn in order to move past dereliction.
