GIRALDO-GUTIERREZ, Francisco Luis; NUMPAQUE-ACOSTA, Andrea María  and  LONDONO-VASQUEZ, David Alberto. Fernando González: Walking through his Novel Viaje a pie [Travelling on Foot]. Cuad. linguist. hisp. [online]. 2017, n.30, pp.125-145. ISSN 0121-053X.  https://doi.org/10.19053/0121053x.n30.0.6191.

Fernando González is a literary icon of Antioquia, Colombia. His deep and polemic thoughts on the reality of his times are the reason why he is now presented as a highly sensitive writer, regarding social, politic and religious aspects; the latter being the one he complains the most about. Reading his book Viaje a pie [Travelling on foot] feels just like "walking through" the paths he once travelled. This article seeks to comprehend the author's conception of geography, love and lovelessness, family, politics and religion, in order to characterize him, taking into account the context, events and situations presented in his novel.

Keywords : Political and religious fanaticism; Colombian family; Antioquia society; love and philosophy; conservatism and costumbrismo.
