Hard Cover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. 56pp. Brown hardback with DJ, VG, full page color illustrations, "Nobel Peace Prize winner and Mayan activist Rigoberta Menchú brings the world of her earliest childhood vividly to life in this colorful book. Before the war in Guatemala and despite the hardships that the Mayan people endured, life in the Mayan villages of the highlands had a beauty and integrity. This was forever changed by the conflict and brutal genocide that was to come. Menchú's stories of her grandparents and parents, of the natural world that surrounded her, and her retelling of the stories that she was told present a rich, humorous, and engaging portrait of that lost world".

Soft cover. Condición: As New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: None, As Issued. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 282 pages. Published in 2022. New And Definitive Translation of the author's ground-breaking novel. Miguel Angel Asturias' masterpiece. The First Penguin Classics Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a softcover original only. The First Penguin Classics Edition is now scarce. The book remains available in multiple subsequent printings. Presents, in its First Edition format, Miguel Angel Asturias' "El Senor Presidente" in a felicitous English translation by David Unger. Foreword by Mario Vargas Llosa, one of the greatest writers of the 20th century and our time. Introduction by Gerald Martin. At long last: The single most famous "dictator novel" in Latin-American history, and the first major novel in Latin America to attempt a revolution in literary language. It is fundamentally a novel about what we now (almost casually) label as toxic masculinity, in its most extreme and absurd form. In the way it emasculates all other men, abuses all women, and destroys a whole nation (which Guatemala has yet to recover from), the psychopathology of the Latino "macho man" dictator is unprecedented and insuperable. Yet Miguel Angel Asturias' permanent contribution to world literature is to depict the destructive insanity of machismo through daring literary innovation and outstanding Modernism instead of conventional realism. "I was stunned when I first read it at the age of nineteen, three months after I had read James Joyce's 'Ulysses'. Without Asturias, the so-called 'magical realist' perspective and techniques of 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' would not have existed" (Gerald Martin). "It is the kind of performance that strains at the limits of a novelist's craft and is seldom repeated in a writer's career, except by genius" (The New York Times). An absolute "must-have" title for Miguel Angel Asturias collectors. This title is a great book. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the First Edition Thus/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: ALL other copies available online are in multiple subsequent printings or have serious flaws ("Good", "Very Good"). This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus. Winner of the Nobel Prize For Literature in 1967. One of the greatest writers of our time. A fine copy.
