Abstract

This paper deals with address in its universal artistic dimension Los ríos profundos by Jose Maria Arguedas, from psychotic distortion of reality that is made explicit and refers to the psychological makeup of an infant stage of the psyche, that of Ernesto precisely autobiographical character. This link and this patográfica psychological or even look can project and thus has been done on the entire novel and the work of Arguedas. All the dramatic vision of ethnic conflicts in the work of Arguedas and all his delusional vision of a magical nature, and in blocks of Ernesto as the sacred cow of Banku and Juanchu Los escoleros, are the result of a feverish mind sick, and ultimately you can refer to the psychological and biographical own idiosyncrasy of the author.
