Tribute to Miguel Ángel Asturias

Instituto Cervantes in collaboration with the Embassy of Guatemala in the UK pays tribute to Miguel Ángel Asturias, the Guatemalan Nobel Prize-winning writer whose work bridged indigenous heritage and universal literature. Celebrated for masterpieces such as El Señor Presidente and Men of Maize, Asturias gave voice to social justice and cultural identity, earning the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1967.

This homage honors his enduring legacy as a poet, diplomat, and novelist, whose words continue to inspire readers worldwide. Through his writing, Asturias transformed memory and myth into powerful narratives that resonate across generations.

The talk will be hosted by Juan Toledo.

Event organised in collaboration with the Embassy of Guatemala in the UK.
