Jokin Muñoz’s novel, Antzaren Bidea (2007) / El camino de la oca (2008), pivots around the memoir of the Spanish Civil War in Navarre. The methodology of the analysis combines narratology with elements from Memoir Studies. The conclusions of the analysis highlight the uniqueness of the novel in the Basque literary system, due to the use of the space of Navarre’s Rivera (river-land area), the repression exercised on the civilian population and also owing to the ideological depiction of the characters, since the main character is a Carlist (royalist-traditionalist) that feels nostalgia for the bygone days of the Spanish Republic where different ideologies would coexist in peace.
