«Torotumbo» is a work by Miguel Ángel Asturias, published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (224 pages, in Spanish).
The work relies on symbolism and Guatemalan culture to build a story that begins with a tragic event: the rape and murder of a girl. That starting point allows Asturias to show the social and political reality of his time and to weave denunciation with the popular imagination.
Volume no. 48 of the Gran Antología de la Literatura Universal del Siglo XX collection, published in 1991. Miguel Ángel Asturias won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1967.
For readers of Latin American fiction interested in symbolism, Guatemalan culture, and social criticism.
