«El señor presidente» is the novel by Miguel Ángel Asturias about the Latin American dictatorship, published by Diario El País in hardback (344 pages, in Spanish).
The work presents life in a Latin American country ruled by a dictator whose power rests on fear and denunciation. Through characters trapped in that machinery, Asturias portrays the dehumanization and corruption generated by authoritarianism, with prose that combines social denunciation and poetic atmospheres.
The novel was originally published in 1946 and belongs to the current of twentieth-century Hispanic American narrative. This El País edition, of 344 pages, is part of the Clásicos del Siglo XX collection.
Recommended for readers of classic Latin American literature and for those interested in the political and social novel of the twentieth century.
