Soul Friends and Heart Enemies. Chronicle of a Feminine Exile Authors Carmen Corral Seminari Filosofia i Gènere Abstract The main aim of these lines is to rescue from oblivion the voice and the writing of Carmen Laforet. She won the Nadal Prize in 1944, and since then silence and forgetfulness have covered her life and her work until our days. However, she is alive and we can know some details of her chosen exile through the reading of her correspondence with Ramón J. Sender from 1965 until 1975. In these letters, we find literary suggestions, philosophical thoughts and everyday incidents expressed with the sincerity of a genuine friendship. Two exiles, one of them feminine, and two passions: memory and literature.
