De la novela policial al cine político. Representación del crimen y focalización múltiple en las diferentes versiones de Los albañiles de Vicente Leñero.

Abstract

The novel Los albañiles (1964) by Vicente Leñero was adapted twice by the same autor, first as a play (1968) and later as a screenplay for the film of Jorge Fons (1976). The transition through the different formats caused relevant changes in the structure of the narration and in the focus about the different themes of the novel. This paper discusses these changes, starting with the construction of the novel as a narration in “multiple internal focalization” and from the changes of this structure in the successive versions.
