摘要
This work analyzes the transfigurations of the odysseous journey in the novels Los pasos perdidos, by Alejo Carpentier, and Los detectives salvajes, by Roberto Bolano. After exploring the most relevant appropriations of the figure of Ulysses in the universal tradition, it is argued that in these two novels there is a disjunction between the journey as a symbolic process that gives meaning to the itinerary and the journey as mere wandering that constitutes an end in itself.
