Keywords:

Abstract
This article analyzes relations between apocalyptical literature-as theological category- and fantastic literature, specifically transit spaces and the approach of Julio Cortázar shown in his 1976 tale, Apocalypsis of Solentiname. The theological-literary approximation allows to identify the world vision of the text and, at the same time, will try to decode the keys of narration that shows itself as a tale with many autobiographical doings, but in the other hand, point a fantastic dimension with horror, prophecy and hope.Downloads
