This thesis focuses on the novel of Sergio Fernandez Los peces. Given the linguistic and thematic complexity of this literary work, such approach is a mere effort to discover clues for an interpretation of it. / Working toward this goal, the first chapter of the thesis unfolds the search for origins of the secret doctrine of Israel at the beginning of the Christian era, focusing specifically on the symbolism of the fish, Clam's role, the white goddess's function, Gabriel's role as the embodiment of Jehovah and Beelzebub and the presence of the new religion following the weddings. / The second chapter talks about the aesthetic of repentance as formulated by Baltasar Gracian and present in the work of sor Juana Ines de la Cruz; the relationship between the latter and the narrator of Los peces, the conception of art as a deception of the senses, as well as the narrator's androgynous voice or voices. / Finally, the third chapter concentrates on the poetics of Fernandez's text. More concretely, the spirituality of the narrator and his or her relationship with the writer. The relationship between desire, language, and religion, and the analysis of space are also the focal point in this chapter. / The conclusion summarizes what was studied throughout the thesis and raise questions.
