Abstract
Asistimos a un estudio sobre los elementos del Eros y del Tánatos como fenómenos fundamentales y dinamizadores de mundo en los personajes ficcionales de variados cuentos del escritor colombiano Germán Espinosa. Los protagonistas literarios y su devenir existencial en las diferentes situaciones de las narraciones abordadas, por estar sujetos a una serie de interdictos morales y sociales que una vez confrontados proyectan la fragilidad y el enigmatismo del hombre frente a la existencia misma y la confrontación con el otro, reflejan la condición del ser humano. Asimismo, se reconoce la palabra estética espinosiana como generadora de cuestionamientos frente a los recónditos misterios que rigen el comportamiento del hombre contemporáneo.
