Every culture has a memorable type of literature.
When one thinks of English literature, one thinks of William Shakespeare or Charles Dickens. The American writers Thoreau, Clemens, and Emerson bring to mind the days when America was still proving herself to be equal to the European countries. France had her own artists, such as Voltaire and Hugo, as did Spain with Cervantes and Dante. Very few of these authors are as well-known as those mentioned. However, through the concept of a previously unknown literature, the world is viewing Latin America in a new light.
