   Extractions: During the last few years, Asturias has gained international recognition, as his most important works came to be translated into various languages; today they can be read even in Swedish. His first work was a collection of Guatemalan legends, strange evocations of the Mayas' past, a treasure of images and symbols which has, ever since, been the inexhaustible source of his inspiration. But he did not get his real start as a writer until 1946, the year of the publication of the novel, (The President). This magnificent and tragic satire criticizes the prototype of the Latin American dictator who appeared in several places at the beginning of the century and has since reappeared, his existence being fostered by the mechanism of tyranny which, for the common man, makes every day a hell on earth. The passionate vigour with which Asturias evokes the terror and distrust which poisoned the social atmosphere of the time makes his work a challenge and an invaluable aesthetic gesture. The narrative, entitled, (Men of Maize) appeared three years later. It might be considered as a folktale whose chief inspiration is in the imagination but which, nevertheless, remains true to life. Its motifs are from the mythology of that tropical land where man must struggle simultaneously against a mysteriously beautiful but hostile nature and against unbearable social distortions, oppression, and tyranny. Such an accumulation of nightmares and totemic phantasms may overwhelm our sensibilities, but we cannot help being fascinated by a poetry so bizarre and terrifying.

   Extractions: Miguel Angel Asturias (1899-1974) was born in Guatemala and spent his childhood and adolescence in his native country. He studied for his baccalaureate at the state high school and later took a law degree at the University of San Carlos. His thesis on "The Social Problem of the Indian" was published in 1923. After he finished his law studies, he founded with fellow students the Popular University of Guatemala, whose aim was to offer courses to those who could not afford to attend the national university. In 1923 he left for Europe, intending to study political economy in England. He spent a few months in London and then went to Paris, where he was to stay for ten years. At the Sorbonne he attended the lectures on the religions of the Mayas by Professor Georges Raynaud, whose disciple he became. Also, as correspondent for several important Latin American newspapers, he travelled in all the Western European countries, in the Middle East, in Greece, and in Egypt.

Asturias's writings combine the mysticism of the Maya with epic impulse toward social protest. Asturias spent much of his life in exile because of his public opposition to dictatorial rule. "If you write novels merely to entertain - then burn them! This might be the message delivered with evangelical fervour since if you do not burn them they will anyway be erased from the memory of the people where a poet or novelist should aspire to remain. Just consider how many writers there have been who - down the ages - have written novels to entertain! And who remembers them now?" (from Nobel Lecture In 1923 Asturias received a law degree and continued his education in Europe. Instead of taking economics as his father had intended him to do, Asturias studied anthropology under Georges Raymond in Paris at the Sorbonne (1923-28) and encountered French translations of Mayan writings. He developed a deep concern for the Mayan culture and in 1925 he translated the sacred Mayan text Popol Vuh into Spanish. During these years Asturias also began to write poetry and fiction. In 1923 he founded the magazine

By Victor Perera G The Dwarf or have dipped into the early-20th-century Norse epic Kristin Lavransdatter by Sigrid Undset, another neglected Nobel laureate from a small northern country? No one was more aware of his undeserved obscurity than Asturias himself, and he did not take the neglect with good grace. When One Hundred Years of Solitude One Hundred Years of Solitude from Balzac's By contrast, Rabassa's translation of Asturias' Mulata , a dense Faustian exercise laced with Mayan myth, was a confessed failure, and Rabassa rued the day he was persuaded to translate Asturias' overwrought United Fruit Trilogy , made up of three polemical, rabidly anti-American novels: The Green Pope Strong Wind and Eyes of the Interred . Asturias' venomous diatribes against gringo tycoons who destroy the rain forest and force its Maya inhabitants to work on vast banana plantations ruled by the Mighty Dollar were dipped in spleen rather than an inkwell. It also rankled Asturias that his works were ignored by his own countrymen, who drove him into exile, as they have done to all Guatemalans who take a stand against political oppression and social injustice. (In 1967, the year Asturias won his Nobel, I had to search all of Guatemala's bookstores to find one solitary copy of

    Extractions: Lame Duck Books ASTURIAS, Miguel Angel Holograph Manuscript of the Play, "Hotel de Balcones." c. 1965. Sixty-nine pages on each of four sides of seventeen folded 295mm x 210mm thin white sheets and another side of a further sheet. An extensively revised working manuscript of this unpublished comic drama by the Guatemalan Nobel Prize winner, best known for his wild evocations of the rich mytho-poesis of the Gautemalan peasant, such as Mulata de tal and for his powerful, and equally myth-steeped, novels of central American politics, such as the Banana Trilogy and El Senor Presidente. According to Asturias's note on the hand-written title page, the play was written on the train from Genova to Rome on 2nd of February, 1965. Evidently, the action of the play was suggested, at least in part, by encounters that occurred during the trip. Asturias was living in Genoa at the time and working as a journalist subsequent to the fall of Guatemalan president Arbenz. Signed by Asturias. Very good.
