The study focuses on how the categories of the ludic and the mythic become key interpretive tools for unraveling his narrative universe. The author explores the metaphorical relationship that Hernández establishes between man and reality, understood as a mechanism of distancing from existential angst. An essential book for understanding the literary sincerity and complexity of a writer who defied the conventions of his time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book investigates the central role played by the ludic and the mythic in the work of Felisberto Hernández. Based on this premise, it analyzes how the Uruguayan author conceives of the human being's relationship with reality, positing it as essentially metaphorical. This vision is not arbitrary, but rather responds to a need for distancing from the angst that reality itself provokes. The work examines how this dynamic translates into a literary proposal where sincerity is not a direct reflection of the real, but a symbolic and evasive construction, loaded with personal inventions and myths. In this way, the architecture of a unique narrative world is dismantled, where the everyday is transformed into something strange and fascinating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAnalysis of the ludic and the mythic as interpretive keys to Felisberto Hernández's work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe metaphorical relationship of man with reality as the axis of his literary proposal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDistancing from existential angst as a creative engine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe concept of literary sincerity in the narrative of Felisberto Hernández.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eStudy of the construction of personal myths and inventions in his fiction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at students, researchers, and literature lovers interested in the work of Felisberto Hernández, as well as those looking for a rigorous analysis of 20th-century Hispanic American narrative.
