We propose in this communication to analyze the ideological procedures in the so called trilogy of Juan Benet´s Region, work constituted by three novels of break that concern of the experiences of the generation of Spanish postwar around the problem of the  history of the recent past, especially of the civil war and the Franco´s regime. You will return to Region (1967), A meditation (1969) and A winter trip  (1972) are characterized for being inside the same condensed  space of Region, which not only acts as backdrop but it wraps and determines his prominent figures, and it is related intimately to the environment of ruin and of existing desolation, as well as to the consciuosness.
