Winner! Nobel Prize for Literature. Guatemalan diplomat and writer Miguel Angel Asturias (1899-1974) began this award-winning work while still a law student. It is a story of ruthless dictator and his schemes to dispose of a political adversary in an unnamed Latin American country usually identified as Guatemala. The book has been acclaimed for portraying both a totalitarian government and its damaging psychological effects. Drawing from his experiences as a journalist writing under repressive conditions, Asturias employs such literary devices as satire to convey the government's transgressions and surrealistic dream sequences to demonstrate the police state's impact on the individual psyche. Asturias's stance against all forms of injustice in Guatemala caused critics to view the author as a compassionate spokesperson for the oppressed. "My work," Asturias promised when he accepted the Nobel Prize, "will continue to reflect the voice of the people, gathering their myths and popular beliefs and at the same time seeking to give birth to a universal consciousness of Latin American problems."

El interes de Miguel angel Asturias encuentra su transposicion literaria en LEYENDAS de GUATEMALA cronica de prodigios fantasticos en la que las leyendas miticas del pueblo maya-quiche se funden con las tradiciones del pasado colonial guatemalteco y las ciudades indigenas de Tikal y Copan se aunan con Santiago y Antigua, fundadas por los espanoles. La batalla entre los espiritus de la tierra y los espiritus divinos es narrada por la prosa evocadora y exuberante del Premio Nobel de Literatura de 1967, colmada de imagenes deslumbrantes.

La narración de esta premiada obra, tiene por objeto la descripción y denuncia de la dictadura de Manuel Estrada Cabrera, sanguinario dictador guatemalteco de la primera mitad del siglo XX y, por extensión de todas las dictaduras latinoamericanas. Pero en otra parte Miguel Ángel Asturias muestra aspectos sociales y políticos de Guatemala, la miseria de ese tiempo. Asturias nos lleva a otra dimensión donde lo mágico con lo real se fusionan y nos entregan esta increíble novela que le ayudó a ser galardonado con un Premio Nobel de literatura.

Mulata de tal

Si en Leyendas de Guatemala se produjo la toma de conciencia de Miguel Angel Asturias de la identidad nacional de su pais, en El Senor Presidente se produce una denuncia de la dictadura en Guatemala. La importancia de esta novela es enorme como modelo directo o indirecto para los autores de narraciones que tratan tambien el tema de la dictadura: Carpentier, Garcia Marquez o Roa Bastos. Encarna ademas el patron de la nueva novela y el realismo magico.
