Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Alumbra, lumbre de alumbre, Luzbel de piedralumbre! Como zumbido de oidos persistia el rumor de las campanas a la oracion, maldoblestar de la luz en la sombra, de la sombra en la luz. Alumbra, lumbre de alumbre, Luzbel de piedralumbre, sobre la podredumbre! En El senor presidente, una de las obras que mejor han revelado los horrores de la vida bajo una dictadura, y que inspiro obras como El recurso del metodo o El otono del patriarca, Miguel Angel Asturias cuenta la historia de un despiadado dictador en un pais innominado de America Latina y de sus planes para deshacerse de un adversario politico. En esta obra cumbre de la literatura en espanol, Asturias acude a la satira y al flujo de conciencia surrealista para resaltar los horrores de un gobierno totalitario. El trabajo de Asturias como diplomatico y su compromiso contra todas las formas de injusticia lo llevaron a ser reconocido como portavoz de los oprimidos siendo galardonado en 1967 con el Premio Nobel de Literatura por el conjunto de su obra.Lo que es bello y transforma este libro demoniaco de atroces episodios en obra artistica y le ha dado la vigencia que tiene es su estructura formal y, principalmente, su lenguaje. En esto [] dio un salto cualitativo a la novela en lengua espanola. [] Medio siglo despues de escrita, El senor Presidente sigue siendo una de las mas originales creaciones de la literatura latinoamericana. -Prologo del Premio Nobel de Literatura, Mario Vargas LlosaENGLISH DESCRIPTION NOBEL PRIZE LAUREATEGuatemalan diplomat and writer Miguel Angel Asturias (1899-1974) began this award-winning work while still a law student. It is a story of ruthless dictator and his schemes to dispose of a political adversary in an unnamed Latin American country usually identified as Guatemala. The book has been acclaimed for portraying both a totalitarian government and its damaging psychological effects. Drawing from his experiences as a journalist writing under repressive conditions, Asturias employs such literary devices as satire to convey the government's transgressions and surrealistic dream sequences to demonstrate the police state's impact on the individual psyche. Asturias's stance against all forms of injustice in Guatemala caused critics to view the author as a compassionate spokesperson for the oppressed. "My work," Asturias promised when he accepted the Nobel Prize, "will continue to reflect the voice of the people, gathering their myths and popular beliefs and at the same time seeking to give birth to a universal consciousness of Latin American problems."
