Men of Maize by Miguel Angel Asturias1975 Written by the 1967 Recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature First Edition ThusFirst U.S. Printing: Stated 335 pages including glossary Originally written in 1949, is considered by many to be Asturias’ masterpiece. The title Hombres de maíz refers to the Maya Indians’ belief that their flesh was made of corn. The novel is written in six parts, each exploring the contrast of traditional Indian customs and a progressive, modernizing society. Asturias’s book explores the magical world of indigenous communities, a subject about which the author was both passionate and knowledgeable. The novel draws on traditional legend, but the story is of Asturias’s own creation. The plot revolves around an isolated Indian community (the men of maize or “people of corn”) whose land is under threat by outsiders, with the intent of commercial exploitation. An indigenous leader, Gaspar Ilom, leads the community’s resistance to the planters, who kill him in the hope of thwarting the rebellion. Beyond the grave Ilom lives on as a “folk-hero”; despite his efforts, the people still lose their land. In the second half of the novel, the central character is a postman, Nicho, and the story revolves around his search for his lost wife. In the course of his quest he abandons his duties, tied as they are to “white society”, and transforms himself into a coyote, which represents his guardian spirit. This transformation is yet another reference to Mayan culture; the belief of nahualism, or a man’s ability to assume the shape of his guardian animal, is one of the many essential aspects to understanding the hidden meanings in the novel. Through allegory, Asturias shows how European imperialism dominates and transforms native traditions in the Americas. By the novel’s end, as Jean Franco notes, “the magic world of Indian legend has been lost”; but it concludes on a “Utopian note,” as the people become ants to transport the maize they have harvested. –Wikipedia See photos for a better idea of item’s actual condition.
