RUIZ CALLEJON, Encarnación. Nayib Mahfuz and the «death of God»: a cultural reflection, open and emancipatory. Franciscanum [online]. 2012, vol.54, n.157, pp.233-272. ISSN 0120-1468.

In this work I analyze the reflection of Mahfuz about God and his death in Children of Gebelawi/Children of the Alley, one of the most philosophical novels of Naguib Mahfouz. Mahfouz approaches the stories of Judaism, Christianity and Islam as parts of a cross-cultural and Utopian legacy. From the death of God he refers to the art of narrating the past as a cross-cultural therapy and a possible response to some effects of the nihilism.

Palabras clave : Mahfouz; Nietzsche; death of God; nihilism; art.
