When profiteering outsiders encroach on their territory and threaten to abuse the fertile land, they enter a bloody struggle to protect their way of life. Blurring the lines between history and mythology, Miguel Ángel Asturias's lush, dream-like work offers a prescient warning against the loss of ancestral wisdom and ecological devastation that comes with unchecked capitalist greed.
