Abstracts

EN

The analysis of the autobiographical texts by Pio Baroja, describing his experiences from the period of adolescence, allows understanding of the metaphysical existentialism which was typical for the author himself and for the characters he created. In his memoirs (Familia, infancia, juventud; Juventud, egolatría; La sensualidad pervertida,) Pio Baroja appears to be a person fascinated by psychology, who wants to conduct profound analysis of his personality. Meanwhile, he blames Spanish society for the existence of a number of his vices, which resulted from the suppression of his natural instincts. The experiences related to the period of adolescence and the discovering of sexuality, described by the author, prove that at the age of 14-15 Pio Baroja started to develop the characteristics which were typical for the whole Generation of 98. The growing nonconformism will attract the attention of the author to the dissonance between an individual and the society.
