Pedro Páramo: The Cosmogony of the Dead is a rigorous and thought-provoking literary essay that proposes a symbolic and apocalyptic reading of Juan Rulfo's emblematic novel. Through a deep analysis of its mythical, religious, and anthropological elements, the author explores how Pedro Páramo constructs a cosmogony in which Eden, Hell, and Purgatory unfold as coexisting dimensions within the symbolic space of Comala.
From biblical and classical references to visual keys of apocalyptic literature, the essay reveals how Rulfo's narrative universe exposes a collective fall-the downfall of a town that, having lost its faith and moral compass, becomes an earthly hell condemned to wandering and oblivion.
With clear language and solid argumentation, this text stands as an essential guide both for scholars of literature and for readers passionate about Rulfo's work.
