García Márquez, Gabriel, “El rastro de tu sangre en la nieve”, Journeys in literatureAbstract
The narrative of Gabriel García Márquez (1927-2014) has its foundations based on a cultural project. However, the short story titled “El rastro de tu sangre en la nieve” comprised in Strange Pilgrims (1992) contradicts the scheme of the Colombian author. In “El rastro de tu sangre en la nieve” the protagonists Nena Daconte and Billy Sánchez de Ávila, leave Cartagena de Indias to embark themselves on a European journey to celebrate their honeymoon. In this article I will develop an interpretation of the type of journey Billy Sánchez, Nena Daconte, and the narrator embark on. According to the individuality of each character, each of them experiences a different type of journey. The travel of Billy Sánchez is touristic, Nena Daconte’s is foundational (material), and the narrator’s is spiritual (foundational).
