Miguel Ángel Asturias (1899-1974) was the first Latin American writer to be awarded the Nobel Prize in literature. A native of Guatemala, Asturias is known for his use of surrealist-inspired magical realism and for his incorporation of folklore and indigenous mythology into his works. Asturias is best known for his novels El Señor Presidente (1946), Hombres de maíz (1949), Week-end in Guatemala (1956), and Los ojos de los enterrados (1960) but at least one scholar[1] contends that some of his best work is among the least well-known.
