«El Señor Presidente» is Miguel Ángel Asturias's political denunciation novel, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (432 pages, in Spanish).
The work denounces Latin American dictatorship through the Guatemalan case: in a capital ruled by fear, the regime corrupts and dehumanizes its citizens. Asturias combines dreamlike atmosphere and sonorous prose, turning a story begun before his trip to Europe into a landmark of magical realism.
It belongs to the Letras Hispánicas collection (no. 423), edited by Alejandro Lanoël-d'Aussenac; it is the 7th edition.
For readers interested in Latin American narrative and political fiction.
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.
