Anjel Lertxundiren pertsonaien izenak

Resumen

A Basque proverb literally says, «he who/that which has a name also has a being». This is literally advocated by Anjel Lertxundi, if bearing in mind the criteria used by this Basque writer when it comes to naming characters. As is the case with the rest of literary choices, Lertxundi provides his characters with a specific name only after a deep reflection. As a sign of his generosity, Lertxundi gives a detailed account of this particular writing process in his essays, lectures and press columns. These are valuable sources for the data and conclusions that will be fully explained throughout the article.
