The purpose of this article is to focus in one of the most important pieces of fiction written by Spanish author Benjamín Jarnés. Teoría del zumbel (1930) can be read both as a manifesto and as a novel. In any case, it is a very good example of the Spanish Avant-Gard. Although there is no difficulty in recognizing Jarnés' style as modern and experimental, this book in particular also belongs to the tradition of the novel invented by Cervantes. Sansón Carrasco is one of the main characters in Teoría del zumbel. It symbolizes reason according to Jarnés. This article describes the way in which this particular character is incorporated by the writer into his novel.
