Precisamente, esta recurrencia temática, tanto en su vertiente cuantitativa como cualitativa, se analiza en el artículo: cuantitativamente, porque no es desdeñable que en sus 26 novelas se citen explícitamente 364 muertes, y, cualitativamente, porque se antoja complicado imaginar su obra sin la muerte acechante, porque incluso en aquellas obras en las que la muerte no es el asunto central, esta se torna inseparable de la trama principal, ya sea como elemento catalizador de todo lo demás, ya como accesorio indispensable de lo esencial. Porque la muerte no es un accidente en las obras de Delibes, sino el motivo que las justifica. Asimismo, la presencia constante de la muerte no se puede desligar de cierto sentimiento religioso que profesaba Delibes, por lo que las últimas voluntades sacramentales se reflejan en gran número de personajes inmediatamente antes de fallecer.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract Even if it is true that the literary constants in Miguel Delibes work are the childhood, fellowship, and nature, it is no less true that practically all his novels gravitate around an obsessive idea: death. Precisely, this thematic recurrence is the fact analyzed in this article: quantitatively because it is not negligible that 364 deaths are explicitly cited in his 26 novels, and qualitatively because it seems difficult to imagine his work without stalking death, because even in these works in which death is not the central issue, it becomes inseparable from the main plot, either as a catalyst for everything else or as an indispensable accessory to the essential. Mainly because death is not an accident in the life work of Delibes, but the main reason that justifies them. The constant presence of death cannot be separated from a certain religious sentiment that Delibes professed, so the last sacramental wishes are reflected in a large number of characters immediately before passing away.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="pt"><p><![CDATA[Resumo Se é verdade que as constantes literárias da obra de Miguel Delibes são a infância, o vizinho e a natureza, não é menos verdade que praticamente todos os seus romances gravitam em torno de uma ideia obsessiva: a morte. Justamente essa recorrência temática, tanto em seus aspectos quantitativos quanto qualitativos, analisa-se neste artigo: cuantitativamente, porque não é desprezível que 364 mortes sejam explicitamente citadas em seus 26 novelas, e qualitativamente porque parece difícil imaginar sua obra. sem a morte iminente, porque mesmo naquelas obras em que a morte não é a questão central, a morte torna-se indissociável da trama principal, seja como catalisador de tudo o mais, seja como acessório indispensável do essencial. Porque a morte não é um acidente nas obras de Delibes, mas o motivo que as justifica. A presença constante da morte não pode ser separada de um certo sentimento religioso que Delibes professava, de modo que os últimos desejos sacramentais se refletem em um grande número de personagens imediatamente antes de falecer.]]></p></abstract>
