Abstract

This article analyzes the significance of the emergence of the railway system in the Spain of the late nineteenth century through the study of the short story ¡Adiós, Cordera! by Alas Clarín and the novel El tren directo by ortega y Munilla. Both authors represent the arrival of the train as a distorting element of the Spanish countryside which ends up destroying the lives of the main characters in both works and, in particular, the weakest, women and children.
