Abstract

In this work I propose a new perspective and interpretation of Agota Kristof’s trilogy through the convergence of two frames: thematic and identity theories. Therefore, I relate the different structures of the double theme in the twins of the story – a central issue in the trilogy – with the condition of exile from the perspective of the autobiographic space and the construction of a narrative identity. Furthermore, this relationship between the double and the exile has been found to be repeated throughout history. Consequently, this work tries to explain in a more exhaustive way the particularities of the trilogy.
