«Leyendas de Guatemala» is a collection of stories by writer Miguel Ángel Asturias, published by Salvat Editores in paperback (169 pages, in Spanish).
It gathers legends of the Maya-Quiché people and traditions of Guatemala's colonial past: the indigenous city of Tikal, Copán, Santiago and Antigua appear in tales where earthly and divine spirits clash. Asturias's evocative, image-laden prose shapes a chronicle of fantastic wonders.
It belongs to the Biblioteca Básica Salvat collection, number 36. Includes a prologue by Jorge Campos. The work was originally published in 1930.
For readers of Latin American fiction, magical realism and Maya folklore, and for those seeking Nobel Prize classics.
Miguel Ángel Asturias Rosales was a Guatemalan poet-diplomat, novelist, playwright and journalist. Winning the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1967, his work helped bring attention to the importance of indigenous cultures, especially those of his native Guatemala.
