PEREZ-AMADOR ADAM, Alberto. El triunfo del demiurgo: Acerca de Muerte sin fin de José Gorostiza. An. Inst. Investig. Estét [online]. 2000, vol.22, n.77, pp.189-210. ISSN 0185-1276.

The author describes the numerological structure of one of the Mexican poems making the most important contribution to universal literature: Muerte sin fin (Unending Death). After analyzing the historical-social context giving rise to the production of this text and situating the poem within a Hispanic tradition with thematic and formal universalistic aspirations, a tradition that, despite post-revolutionary nationalism, resisted local coloring dating from medieval Europe, Alberto Pérez-Amador uncovers a far more profound philosophical tradition in the biblical metaphors and twin guiding lines of the poem: divine and human intelligence. Each of the poem's parts are jointly and separately explained to reveal the limitations imposed by human language when striving to comprehend and explain the world.
