| Annotation |
Summary: In December 1949, Miguel Ángel Asturias returned to Guatemala to witness first-hand the suffering endured by his people due to the abusive exploitation of the all-powerful United Fruit Company. Just six months later, his novel, Viento fuerte, was published, inaugurating the prodigious Banana Trilogy. But Viento fuerte is much more than a novel of denunciation. Asturias' masterful pulse, which would be recognized with the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1967, traces an almost thermal etching of the struggle for existence, through which emerges his great contribution to universal literature: magical realism. Unrated. Spanish language. Marrakesh title.

Reseña: En el arrabal zaragozano donde vivía, pocos pensaban que Flor, aquella niña nacida en uno de sus hogares más humildes, estaba destinada a convertirse en una de las grandes figuras de los escenarios, primero en España y luego en toda Europa. Un camino difícil, sembrado de duras pruebas, que la lleva primero a Madrid y, más tarde, a Barcelona, París, Berlín y la lejana Cuba. A lo largo de esa carrera en pos del éxito, Flor va descubriendo el amor, el desengaño, la amistad, el temor y la obsesión. Y a la vez, su vida se sumerge en los convulsos acontecimientos de las primeras décadas del siglo XX, unos años marcados por las revueltas anarquistas, el auge del fascismo y el horror de la guerra. Unrated. Spanish language. Marrakesh title.
