A Penguin Classic. In an unnamed country, an egomaniacal dictator schemes to dispose of a political adversary and maintain his grip on power. As tyranny takes hold, everyone is forced to choose between compromise and death. Inspired by life under the regime of President Manuel Estrada Cabrera of Guatemala, where it was banned for many years, and infused with exuberant lyricism, Mayan symbolism, and Guatemalan vernacular, Nobel Prize winner Miguel AÌngel Asturias's magnum opus is at once a surrealist masterpiece, a blade-sharp satire of totalitarianism, and a gripping portrait of psychological terror."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Dictators $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Power (Social sciences) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Guatemala $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Latin America $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Unger, David, $d 1950- $e translator. 700 1 $a Vargas Llosa, Mario, $d 1936- $e writer of foreword. 700 1 $a Martin, Gerald, $d 1944- $e writer of introduction. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Asturias, Miguel Angel. $s SenÌor Presidente.
