As we have seen, Cela’s Madera de boj depicts Galicia’s small cities, Muxia and Cabo de Finistierre, known as Costa de Muerte where he was born and grown up. Detailed description of the adjacent areas of Costa de Muerte, residents’ everyday life, culture and natures are covered in Madera de boj. Enormous stories about sinking ships and the dead in the wrecked ships show that this novel is based on the accumulated data and actual surveys conducted by the author himself. About 300 characters show Galicia’s various manners and customs throughout the whole novel. Cela uses shamanistic factors like myths and legends as the novel’s materials. There are stories about phantoms, devils, witches, and zombies repeatedly appearing in the novel. As the antipodes, there are specific mentions on pilgrimages and the contents of the bible as well. With this, he presents Galacia’s characteristic aspects abundantly through the combination of incompatible these two elements: the Catholic faith and idol worship. Cela motivates readers to capture the series of his affection, concern, identity, and respect for his hometown and folks.
