Abstract
[Autom. eng. transl.] The article presents a journey through the work of Miguel Ángel Asturias. After having discarded the ideological polemics around the political figure of the author, we pass to some debates on his work, in particular that of the severe critics of the "boom". The essay claims that there is only one Asturias, supported by its literary quality and by the hallucination of its imagination, poured into a torrential prose. Such ideas are examined from Leyendas de Guatemala until Mulata de Tal, to arrive at the obvious conclusion that the work of Asturias is essential in the understanding of Central American literature.
