El litoral levantino se configura como el paisaje germinal en la producción de Rafael Chirbes y atañe ya sea a su obra narrativa (Crematorio, En la orilla y otros relatos), como a los textos adscritos al género del periodismo de viajes que encontraron su cauce editorial predominante en la revista Sobremesa. En este artículo nos centramos en los reportajes que tienen por referente geográfico la comunidad valenciana y que pasaron a engrosar el volumen Mediterráneos(1997). De ese modo textos vehiculados a través de una plataforma periodística terminan por incrustarse, tras medidos ajustes, en una obra articulada en la que las distintas partes comparten un preciso propósito editorial: textos que nacieron con el propósito persuasivo de promover el viaje, se transforman en documentos testimoniales.
The Mediterranean coastal region of Valencia is configured as the childhood landscape in the production of Rafael Chirbes and concerns both his fiction works (Cremation, On the edgeand other books), as well as the texts that can be assigned to the genre of travel journalism and that were published in Sobremesamagazine. In this article we focus on the reports that have the Valencian Community as a geographical reference point and that finally became an integral part of the volume entitled Mediterráneos(1997). In this way, texts conveyed through a journalistic platform end up being embedded, after applying the appropriate formal adjustments, in an articulated work in which the different sections share a precise editorial purpose: texts that were created in order to encourage travel, become testimonial documents.
