Notes

General Note
Novel originally published in 1949.
Description
Publicada en 1949, Hombres de maíz constituye una incisiva denuncia de los devastadores efectos que el capitalismo y las grandes empresas internacionales tuvieron en las costumbres, las creencias ancestrales, la despersonalización y la inseguridad de los campesinos guatemaltecos. El realismo mágico -antecedente inmediato del que prodigaran en sus relatos Juan Rulfo, Gabriel García Marquez y otros autores hispanoamericanos- y la audacia de la construcción novelesca son sólo algunos de los elementos que confieren a esta obra de Miguel Angel Asturias (1899-1974) -Premio Nobel de Literatura en 1967- una singularidad inconfundible.
Description
Men of Maize is an incredible tale of Indian life in Latin America during the early twentieth century, woven poetically by Asturias. In six parts he simultaneously creates and re-tells history, blurring the distinctions between reality and myth. He interweaves the past, present and future, giving the background tale, then continuing on to show how that tale would become the folklore of the future.
Language
In Spanish.
