This critical edition of 'Cuentos y leyendas' by Miguel Ángel Asturias, coordinated by Mario Roberto Morales, brings together international scholars such as Martin Lienhard, Ana Merino, and Isabel Arredondo. Rather than compiling all of Asturias' short stories, it focuses on highlighting the circularity of his creative journey, showing the recurrence of the legend in his literary production. The volume includes four fundamental books by the author: 'Leyendas de Guatemala', 'El Alhajadito', 'El espejo de Lida Sal', and 'El hombre que lo tenía todo, todo, todo', as well as stories and legends from his Parisian period, revealing unpublished facets of the Nobel Prize winner and his transition from surrealism to the indigenous worldview.
Miguel Ángel Asturias Rosales was a Guatemalan poet-diplomat, novelist, playwright and journalist. Winning the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1967, his work helped bring attention to the importance of indigenous cultures, especially those of his native Guatemala.
