FRANCO ZAMBRANO, Álvaro Neil. From the Rhein to the Suarez River, or the Voyage of the Lengerke Through paths of Civilization and Barbarianism. La Palabra [online]. 2013, n.23, pp.17-31. ISSN 0121-8530.
The purpose of this essay is to address the novel "La otra raya del tigre" [The other stripe of the tiger]" by Pedro Gómez Valderrama, from a perspective that emphasizes the crisis of modernity and the travel literature of the nineteenth century. Thus, concepts such as economic modernization, city, liberalism, colonization, feudalism and civilization, along with the vision of the modern critic Néstor García Canclini and Carmen Elisa Acosta's perception about nineteenth century travelers, are vital elements to understand the novel's itinerary through the exotic natural landscapes of Santander, its yellow roads emerged from the bowels of Van Gogh, the fatality of women with the soul of a scorpions, the hybridization of cultures, especially German and from Santander, and its language, which emphasizes the oral tradition of the people called "pingos".
