In this leg of his epic trilogy, in which he tells about his struggles with the exploiters and the exploiters, he focuses on those who "went with their eyes open" and the fight that continues after them, around the Strike against the Banana Company.
Those who leave with their eyes open, the values lost in social struggles; so that they can find peace in an equal and free future and their eyes can be closed from now on...
The colorful characters drawn by Asturias include ordinary villagers, locals and workers, as well as revolutionary leaders, teachers, children, US soldiers, local collaborators of the "yankees", company managers and There are bosses too. In this last book of the trilogy, we witness a powerful love story that penetrates people the more we read it.
We have Nature again as one of the main heroes. Initials coming from the corridors of mysterious caves, gurgling rivers, the sublime language of the lofty mountains, storms, hurricanes...
Nobel Prize-winning author Asturias is also a master at developing a narrative language appropriate to the nature he describes. While nature is expressed again in his pen, he also includes Indigenous stories, mythology, folklore, and the "magical reality" of Latin America.
