Revueltas y Dostoyevski

Abstract

In “Revueltas and Dostoevsky” the author seeks an interpretation of the Durangan writer by considering two texts, “El apando” (The cell) and “Dormir en tierra” (Sleep in the Earth). From these, he presents a dostoevskian reading of Revueltas’ fiction from guilt and redemption as constant notions appearing in both. Religious temperament, despite the Marxist atheism of Revueltas, pervades the drama inherent in the two commented texts.
