The President tells the story of a ruthless dictator and his schemes to dispose of a political adversary in an unnamed country usually identified as Guatemala. Drawing on his experience as a journalist writing under repressive conditions, Miguel Angel Asturias provides a blazing indictment of totalitarian government and its damaging psychological effects on society - from the harvest of terror to cowardice, to sycophancy, to treachery and intrigue, and the total sacrifice of human values to lust for power. Written in a language of freedom and originality, full of extraordinary symbolism, biting satire, poetry and dream sequences, with an imagination that is both lyrical and ferocious, The President is a surrealist masterpiece and one of the most influential books of the twentieth century.

… ¡Alumbra, lumbre de alumbre, Luzbel de piedralumbre! Como zumbido de oídos persistía el rumor de las campanas a la oración, 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 señor presidente, una de las obras que mejor han revelado los horrores de la vida bajo una dictadura, y que inspiró obras como El recurso del método o El otoño del patriarca, Miguel Ángel Asturias cuenta la historia de un despiadado dictador en un país innominado de América Latina y de sus planes para deshacerse de un adversario político. En esta obra cumbre de la literatura en español, Asturias acude a la sátira y al flujo de conciencia surrealista para resaltar los horrores de un gobierno totalitario. El trabajo de Asturias como diplomático 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 demoníaco de atroces episodios en obra artística 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 española. […] Medio siglo después de escrita, El señor Presidente sigue siendo una de las más originales creaciones de la literatura latinoamericana.” -Prologo del Premio Nobel de Literatura, Mario Vargas Llosa ENGLISH DESCRIPTION NOBEL PRIZE LAUREATE Guatemalan 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."

Italy’s greatest novel and a masterpiece of world literature, The Betrothed chronicles the unforgettable romance of Renzo and Lucia, who endure tyranny, war, famine, and plague to be together. Published in 1827 but set two centuries earlier, against the tumultuous backdrop of seventeenth-century Lombardy during the Thirty Years’ War, The Betrothed is the story of two peasant lovers who want nothing more than to marry. Their region of northern Italy is under Spanish occupation, and when the vicious Spaniard Don Rodrigo blocks their union in an attempt to take Lucia for himself, the couple must struggle to persevere against his plots—which include false charges against Renzo and the kidnapping of Lucia by a robber baron called the Unnamed—while beset by the hazards of war, bread riots, and a terrifying outbreak of bubonic plague. First and foremost a love story, the novel also weaves issues of faith, justice, power, and truth into a sweeping epic in the tradition of Ivanhoe, Les Misérables, and War and Peace. Groundbreakingly populist in its day and hugely influential to succeeding generations, Alessandro Manzoni’s masterwork has long been considered one of Italy’s national treasures.

Edición conmemorativa de la obra maestra de Miguel Ángel Asturias, Premio Nobel de Literatura. Escrita entre 1920 y 1933 y publicada en 1946, El señor presidente es uno de los máximos exponentes de la llamada «novela del dictador» en la que se encuadran otras obras fundamentales como Yo el Supremo, de Roa Bastos, Tirano Banderas, de Valle-Inclán, El otoño del patriarca, de Gabriel García Márquez, o más recientemente, La Fiesta del Chivo, de Mario Vargas Llosa. En ella, Asturias se inspira en el último gobierno de Manuel Estrada Cabrera, en Guatemala, para explorar los mecanismos que hacen funcionar una dictadura política, así como sus efectos en la sociedad. Narrada desde distintos puntos de vista que van conformando de manera indirecta la figura del Presidente, esta novela es uno de los antecedentes más notables del boom latinoamericano y del realismo mágico, cuyo máximo exponente es García Márquez. Su declarada condena de las injusticias y la tiranía le valió ser censurada y prohibida durante trece años, mientras que, en contraposición, su riqueza estilística y la originalidad de su estructura narrativa la convirtieron en una de las novelas que más influyeron en toda una generación de autores de América Latina. Adaptada al cine y al teatro, y traducida a los principales idiomas, la novela tuvo una gran acogida en el momento de su publicación tanto por la crítica como por los lectores. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A Commemorative edition of the Nobel Prize for Literature, Miguel Ángel Asturias’ masterpiece. Published in 1946, The President is one of the greatest representations of a "dictator novel", an honor that it shares with other fundamental works such as I the Supreme, by Roa Bastos, The Autumn of the Patriarch, by García Márquez, and The Feast of the Goat, by Mario Vargas Llosa. Asturias’ work is inspired by Estrada Cabrera’s last government in Guatemala, in it he explores the mechanisms that make a political dictatorship work, as well as its effects on society. Preceding the Latin American Boom and magical realism, his condemnation of injustices and tyranny earned his masterful work to be banned for thirteen years, while the richness of his technique and original structure made it one of the novels that most influenced a whole generation of Latin American authors.

The author, who won the Nobel Prize for Literature, tells the story of an ugly American, George Maker Thompson. Thompson was a pirate in the Caribbean but feels that he's wasted his time as a pirate on the sea and that making money on the water will not lead to the riches that he wants to accumulate. It’s not a particularly secret wisdom that those who have wealth are likely to have power too. After all, it’s money that makes the world go round... at least a materialistic world like ours. Little wonder that our society produces considerable numbers of men and women whose primary goal in life is to gain money and ever more money. In The Green Pope by Miguel Ángel Asturias, Guatemalan winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature 1967 “for his vivid literary achievement, deep-rooted in the national traits and traditions of Indian peoples of Latin-America”, a young American who cares for nothing but wealth and power starts a banana plantation in Guatemala mercilessly ruining, driving out or even killing small local farmers and opponents on his rise. Neither the suicide of his fiancé, the death of his wife in childbirth or the pregnancy of his unmarried daughter make him reconsider his priorities.
