This dissertation will analyse three books. They are, in chronological order, La Colmena, by Camilio José Cela (1951), Historias de Kronen, by José Ángel Mañas (1994), and Amor, curiosidad, prozac, y dudas, by Lucía Etxebarría (1997). Etxebarría's book will be discussed before Mañas', since there are so many parallels between Amor... and La Colmena. Even though more than 40 years have pass

The concept under study is the double, a well-established phenomenon in literature, which often appears as a motive or theme in literary works. This essa

The objective is to draw conclusions about whether and how the degree of obligation is modified in the translation. Modal verbs are known to pose translation challenges due to the absence of one-to-
