Abstract
[Autom. eng. transl.] In his short novel entitled Susana and the Fly Hunters (1938), Baroja tells us the story of a man who travels to France for business reasons, finding that it is impossible for him to return to his country by the start of the Civil War. Therefore, he is forced to settle in Paris and seek employment as a translator to survive and be able to send money to his family who has stayed in Spain. The protagonist of the novel, Miguel Salazar, thus has to build a new life and falls in love with a girl, Susana, who, along with her father, represents the mentality of that gentrified Paris and partially indifferent to the Spanish tragedy that he himself Baroja had the opportunity to meet when he decided to leave for France when the war broke out. The purpose of this work is to analyze the novel in the light of the many ideological and biographical correspondences between author and character.
