El tungsteno is a social protest novel by the renowned Peruvian author César Vallejo. Set in the early 20th century, the story follows the arrival of the American company Mining Society in the indigenous community of Quivilca to extract tungsten, a process that triggers a series of abuses, exploitation, and violence against the local population. Through a raw and realistic plot, Vallejo exposes the tensions between foreign power and the resistance of the workers, culminating in a reflection on social justice and the struggle for the freedom of the oppressed. This edition, published by Linkgua Ediciones, is a fundamental work for understanding indigenism and social criticism in 20th-century literature.
César Abraham Vallejo Mendoza was a Peruvian poet, writer, playwright, and journalist. Although he published only two books of poetry during his lifetime, he is considered one of the great poetic innovators of the 20th century in any language. Thomas Merton called him "the greatest universal poet since Dante". The late British poet, critic and biographer Martin Seymour-Smith, a leading authority on world literature, called Vallejo "the greatest twentieth-century poet in any language." He was a member of the intellectual community called North Group formed in the Peruvian north coastal city of Trujillo.
