Literatura y Derecho: Ante La Ley

Against the apparent initial antagonism between literature and law, Magris proposes a more profound and complex vision and argues that law's frigidity is also what makes possible life's warmth, which is passionately portrayed by literature. In this way, he vindicates the richness of a relationship that, far from being one of opposition, often ends up revealing important similarities. "Al aparente antagonismo inicial entre la literatura y el derecho, Magris contrapone una vision mas profunda y compleja y revela que la frialdad del derecho es tambien lo que hace posible la calidez de la vida, retratada de manera apasionada por la literatura. De esta forma reivindica la riqueza de una relacion que, lejos de ser de oposicion, a menudo termina por revelar importantes similitudes."
