	Miguel Angel Asturias
		Asturias, molto modestamente, attribuì il Nobel alla cultura maya, che lui aveva semplicemente descritto, ed essendo mezzo indio da parte di madre, ribadiva che quel che l'aveva spinto a creare, era proprio quell'atavico amore per la sua terra che il suo stesso sangue gli imponeva.
		Asturias riuscì con le sue liriche appassionate e i suoi romanzi vulcanici a portare un particolare volto dell'America Latina a una dimensione universale e assoluta.
		La grandezza di Asturias sta nel tramutare alchemicamente la schiavitù e l'ingiustizia in una orgogliosa e affascinata fede nei mondi primitivi, e la sua ardita e universale speranza di esule, sta tutta nel disperato amore per la sua terra: il Guatemala.

	Metroactive Books \| Miguel Angel Asturias
		GUATEMALAN novelist Miguel Angel Asturias, a Nobel Prize recipient in 1967, is the least known of Latin America's handful of laureates in literature.
		Asturias' venomous diatribes against gringo tycoons who destroy the rain forest and force its Maya inhabitants to work on vast banana plantations ruled by the Mighty Dollar were dipped in spleen rather than an inkwell.
		It also rankled Asturias that his works were ignored by his own countrymen, who drove him into exile, as they have done to all Guatemalans who take a stand against political oppression and social injustice.

		In 1923, after receiving his degree in law from the University of San Carlos of Guatemala, Asturias settled in Paris, where he studied ethnology at the Sorbonne and became a militant Surrealist under the influence of the French poet and literary theorist Andre Breton.
		It was during this period that Asturias' talent and influence as a novelist emerged, beginning with El senor presidente (1946; The President), an impassioned denunciation of the Guatemalan dictator Manuel Estrada Cabrera.
		Another aspect of that misery--the exploitation of Indians on the banana plantations--appears in the epic trilogy comprised of the novels Viento fuerte (1950; The Cyclone), El papa verde (1954; The Green Pope), and Los ojos de los enterrados (1960; The Eyes of the Interred).

	Miguel Angel Asturias - Biography
		During his stay in Paris from 1923 to 1933, Asturias wrote his novel El Señor Presidente (The President), which slashed at the social evil and malignant corruption to which an insensitive dictator dooms his people.
		Because of its political implications Asturias was unable to bring the book with him when, in 1933, he returned to Guatemala, which at the time was ruled by the dictator Jorge Ubico.
		This story, a surrealistic blend of Indian legends, tells of a peasant whose greed and lust consign him to a dark belief in material power from which, Asturias warns us, there is only one hope for salvation: universal love.

		Nobel Prize-winning Guatemalan novelist Asturias was, until his death, the dean of Central American writers.
		His blending of myth and surrealism and his forays into automatic writing have given Asturias the reputation of being a difficult writer.
		[Far] too taken with existence, his own existence, to actively and sympathetically become engrossed with Europe's post-war hassles [in the mid-1920s], Miguel Ángel promptly disrobed reality of her austere dress and affectionately arrayed her in the sensual, colorful, transparent silks of his mind's fancy.

		Although the main character is the Presidente himself, the story revolves around Miguel Cara de Angel (Angel face).
		This is a painfully hard book to read, because Asturia's use of language and imagery are purposely confusing to amphasize the horrors and the nightmares.
