The essay analyses the role of literature in shaping memory, at times in dissonance with the memory passed down orally, through the family or socially, as was the case of the collective memory of the civil war transmitted by the victors and contested in literature. For this reason, the events at the port of Alicante in March 1939 are analysed both in historic texts and in novels: Campo de los almendros (1968) by Max Aub, and Enllá de l´horitzó (1991), by Enric Valor.
