Aprašymas
A novel whose time has come: the Nobel Prize-winning author of Mr. President's visionary epic of ecological devastation and the collision of capitalist exploitation and indigenous wisdom, now available again for its 75th anniversary with a new introduction, and with a foreword by Pulitzer Prize winner Héctor Tobar A Penguin Classic Deep in the mountain forests of Guatemala, a community of indigenous Mayans--the "men of maize"--serves as stewards to sacred corn crops. When profiteering outsiders encroach on their territory and threaten to abuse the fertile land, they enter a bloody struggle to protect their way of life. Blurring the lines between history and mythology, Miguel ÃÂngel Asturias's lush, dream-like work offers a prescient warning against the loss of ancestral wisdom and ecological devastation that comes with unchecked capitalist greed.
