La descripción y la denuncia de las tiranías latinoamericanas han servido de trasfondo argumental a novelas de gran calidad literaria. EL SEÑOR PRESIDENTE inspirada en la figura del guatemalteco Estrada Cabrera elevó a su máxima capacidad expresiva esa línea narrativa y lanzó a la fama a Miguel Ángel Asturias (1899-1974), Premio Nobel de Literatura en 1967. El relato constituye un descenso a los infiernos a través de la reconstrucción de una atmósfera de pesadilla, forjada por el ejercicio ilícito del poder y por la omnipresencia de la la tortura y el miedo. La visión esperpéntica de la realidad y el lirismo descarnado logran la transfiguración de una situación histórica concreta en una realidad literaria autónoma. I picked up this book with great expectations. I've had my eye on it for some time. It did not disappoint. In fact, it was better than I expected. A superb work of fiction certainly worthy of the Nobel Prize it garnered. The prose was exceptional often times reading like poetry. The author captures the lushness of the scene, the sufferings of the characters, and the brutal realities of the political system with a power few other books I have read can match. A book that is often painful to read but human truths revealed in an unforgettable manner. Certainly, the best book I have read in some time. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

"Nobel Prize-winning Guatemalan author Miguel Ángel Asturias's masterpiece-the original Latin American dictator novel and pioneering work of magical realism-in its first new English translation in more than half a century, featuring a foreword by Nobel laureate Mario Vargas Llosa. A Penguin Classic. In an unnamed country, an egomaniacal dictator schemes to dispose of a political adversary and maintain his grip on power. As tyranny takes hold, everyone is forced to choose between compromise and death. Inspired by life under the regime of President Manuel Estrada Cabrera of Guatemala, where it was banned for many years, and infused with exuberant lyricism, Mayan symbolism, and Guatemalan vernacular, Nobel Prize winner Miguel Ángel Asturias's magnum opus is at once a surrealist masterpiece, a blade-sharp satire of totalitarianism, and a gripping portrait of psychological terror"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
