Abstract

This article analyzes Delibes’ diaristic trilogy, whose absolute prota-
gonist is the caretaker Lorenzo: Diario de un cazador (1955), Diario de un emigrante (1958) and Diario de un jubilado (1995). The choice of the fictitious diary is strongly linked with the author’s psychological insight into a character whose personality barely develops, with the day-to-day dimension of life and the ironical use of the colloquial register, a symbol of Lorenzo’s narrow-mindedness.
