The primary purpose of this article is to look at how, through comparative literary studies, perspectives of different visions of the same topic can be established, but also how these are related; thus, works and authors that are considered classics by the literary canon can be seen from other prisms establishing analogies and similarities, such is the case of Dante Alighieri's The Divine Comedy and how its influence travels the planet through a literary journey that will land with great force on American lands. Many authors from the American continent have alluded, quotes or have simply been influenced by Dante, but it is of interest to focus especially on the figure of the Argentine writer, Leopoldo Marechal, since without falling into plagiarism he recreated the Florentine work but set in the time-spatial setting of its context. This writer takes advantage of the geometric figures that appear in Dante's work to give way to his worldview. His open and declared inclination to Christian thought and political Peronism practically disappeared from the academic and intellectual world of his time, so this work seeks to make him known in Panama, since his thought is more current than ever.
