About the Author
Novelist, playwright, poet, translator, and diplomat, Miguel Asturias received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1967 for what was considered highly colored writing rooted in national individuality and Indian tradition. His first novel, El Senor Presidente, a fictional account of the period of näytä lisää violence and human degradation under the Guatemalan dictator Estrada Cabrera, was completed in 1932 but not published until 1946 for political reasons. It was pioneering in its use of surrealistic structures and Indian myth as integrated parts of the novel's structure. Mulata (1963) uses a Guatemalan version of the legend of Faust as a point of departure for Asturias's inventive use of Indian myth. In 1966, Asturias received the Lenin Peace Prize for writings that expose American intervention against the Guatemalan people. Following the 1954 uprising, Asturias was deprived of his citizenship by the new government and lived in exile for eight years. After the election of President Julio Cesar Mendez Montenegro in 1967, he was restored to his country's diplomatic services as ambassador to Paris and continued to publish.

The title story has a woman trying to capture the heart of the man she wants to marry by secretly putting on the costume that he is to wear at a coming festival. She comes to grief, Narcissus-style, when she goes to a river in the moonlight to look at her reflection in the splendid costume. The stories go on to look at heroes who challenge their prescribed destiny, origin myths, and myths about creative art, finishing with "Leyenda de la campana difunta", where Catholic/capitalist order comes into direct contact with American disturbing forces in a conflict about the founding of a bell, and the whirlwind duelling dance of "Leyenda de las Matachines", which is at one level a knife-fight between two gauchos over a woman and at another a complicated pattern of identity-shifting Mayan deities.
Not my usual sort of thing, and I don't know much about the background traditions, but all very interesting, and full of complicated, intense, poetic writing.… (lisätietoja)
