Abstract
María Zambrano and the Chimera
 During her career as a philosopher, writer and thinker, María Zambrano once and again portrayed literature as a special space for her research. In that sense, she investigated the principal traits belonging to the razón poética in several genres such as poetry and fiction. The purpose of the following pages is to investigate the way in which she read and recreated literary works chiefly by Miguel de Cervantes and Benito Pérez Galdós. Her literary criticism is anchored to metaphoric symbolism. One of her most recurrent symbols is the chimera. The chimera becomes an indispensable and ambiguous image in her analysis of Don Quixote and Misericordia.
 Key Words: María Zambrano, Literary Criticism, Razón Poética, Cervantes, Pérez Galdós
