- Abstract
This article analyzes the tropes of the journey to the virginal nature, in the short novel by Cristina Rivera Garza, El mal de la taiga (2012). Used previously by other writers, such as José Eustasio Rivera, Rómulo Gallegos o Alejo Carpentier, the motives of the trips are being displaced and transformed, allowing the author express worries that concern the universal human beings: the individual in front of the unknown nature that includes the geographical space, as well as the human body. The tropes examined here include the penetration of the strange territory, the illness, the archetypal woman, and the figures from the fantastic stories. The analysis reveals the damaging results of the human passions and obsessions on the diverse form of life in the planet.
