CHAVES, José Ricardo. Faust in the days of don Porfirio. Lit. mex [online]. 2010, vol.21, n.2, pp.225-234. ISSN 2448-8216.
This essay approaches the reception of the Faustian theme in turn-of-the-century Mexico, especially in the case of Amado Nervo, who narratively returned to it on two occasions. He did this under a secularizing direction, in which the duo of Faust and Mephistopheles loses metaphysical altitude and becomes more earthly and bourgeois, with mundane preoccupations relating to love and artistic triumph, in which there is no blood contract since the devil gives his services without asking for anything in return.
