More than fifty yers after Pío Baroja passed away (1956), this paper aims to examine Baroja’s idea of history. Through the personal experiences of his historial but recreated character Eugenio de Aviraneta, the hero of the twenty-two volumes of his Memories of a Man of Action, Baroja explores Spanish history. Moved by an essentially intellectual stimulus, Baroja holds history educates thought, explains the present and anticipates the future. In this journey, that lasts from 1912 to 1934, Baroja makes use of the resources literature enjoys to express thought. The result is a profound reflection, always relativized by his pessimism and his skepticism, on a generation capable of clarifying the meanings of the history of Spain.
