The Portrait of Lozana: The Lusty Andalusian Woman (Retrato de la Lozana andaluza), an important piece of 16th-century Spanish prose, was anonymously published by Francisco Delicado in Venice around the year 1530, but the only known copy was discovered in the middle of the 19th century in Vienna. Over the next hundred and fifty years this literary curiosity gradually became recognized as an integral part of the Spanish literary canon. Still, the modern reception of The Portrait of Lozana is characterized by the absence of a generally accepted consensus respecting its meaning and intention. There have been basically two main interpretations. The first one conceives it reductively as a realistic work with a moral purpose, whereas the other treats it more adequately in a symbolic and ludic manner.

This article deals with the role of the literary topos of the city and its importance in the Ramón Gómez de la Serna’s novels. According to the Daniela Hodrová’s typology we attempt to demonstrate, through the analysis of some novels, that the Serna’s city is specified as “the city-subjec”. The author personifies the city and he fuses the soul of novel’s heroes with the local atmosphere. The protagonists are united themselves with the place and ambient, that are influenced by its attitude and the personality. We distinguished two main conceptions of the city in Serna’s works: “a modern city” and “a city-refugium” and their modalities. The modern city is characterized by its ambivalence: it offers an attractive and adventurous modern lifestyle, on the other hand it shows an existential chaos and dehumanization. As opposed to the topos of “the modern city” appears the topos of “the city-refugium” characterized by the historical memory and mythical tradition.
