Descripción
Sumario:The Latin American culture and its literature are imbued with religiosity and theology. It is impossible to make a broad journey that covers this broad reality, so in this article we will stop at three novels that run along very different paths: Al Filo del Agua, by Agustín Yáñez, Mexican; El Signo del Pez, by Germán Espinosa, Colombian, and El Cristo feo, by Alicia Yáñez Cossío, Ecuadorian. We will focus on the theological glances that underlie the novelistic worlds that these authors and author construct. It is about three different literary universes and also three different theological proposals. Readers will be able to see how, throughout the twentieth century, Christianity in many different aspects is present in the daily life of Latin American peoples.
