Vida de lo inanimado and Así es. Published under the same title Mi vida, she narrates how she was brought up and began to thrive in the world of art, how she discovered her attraction towards women and lived her love affairs, or how she dealt with the consequences of Spanish Civil War, the exile in Buenos Aires and her difficult return to Spain.

Volume 2. EL RASTRO. VIDA DE LO INANIMADO
The second volume of this trilogy, El Rastro, is aimed to “know and love the soul of the dead things”, as Valle-Inclán taught her, Victorina Durán evokes central episodes of her life, and the traditions and uses of her time, through several objects she came across with in the emblematic Madrilenian market.
