In his novels, Dostoevsky refers to the Pushkin text to describe characters. For Dostoev­sky, Pushkin is an ethical and aesthetic touchstone; the writer’s voice is consonant with that of the poet’s persona. In some cases, the Pushkin text is embedded in religious discourse (the parable of the prodigal son). In interpreting the Pushkin text, Dostoevsky’s characters present and disclose themselves. The ‘dreamer’ from ‘White Nights’ invokes the Pushkin text to con­vey the values of his own. In her peculiar account of the ‘poor knight’ ballad, Aglaya is trans­forming religious discourse into aesthetic and mundane. Pushkin’s St Petersburg text, whose sign is wet snow, creates the space in which contradiction-ridden Hermann (The Queen of Spades) and Dostoevsky’s paradoxalists develop. The Pushkin code in Dostoevsky’s texts is what the images of characters are built on. It is a text-producing and plot-building technique and an element of literary discourse, of author-reader interactions. These techniques are used by Vladimir Nabokov in Despair and “The Visit to the Museum”.

El artículo quiere dar cuenta del motivo del Hijo Pródigo en la literatura mexicana de la década de los años veinte del siglo pasado. El personaje de la parábola desde su aparición fue relegando a otro viajero que había concitado el interés y la curiosidad en los primeros años de esa década, Ulises, de resonancias vasconcelistas. La complejidad del pródigo explica la seducción que operó sobre jóvenes poetas mexicanos, en particular, Xavier Villaurrutia, Gilbeto Owen y Salvador Novo.   The article wants to give an account of the reason for the prodigal son in Mexican literature of the Decade of the twenties of the last century.
