 One of the most notable works of the dictator novel genre, "El Señor Presidente" developed from an earlier Asturias short story, written to protest social injustice in the aftermath of a devastating earthquake in the author's home town.
Leyendas de Guatemala (Legends of Guatemala, 1930) was the first book to be published by Nobel-prizewinning author Miguel Ángel Asturias.
 The book is a re-telling of Maya origin stories from Asturias's homeland of Guatemala.

Miguel Ángel Asturias Rosales (October 19, 1899 – June 9, 1974) was a Nobel Prize-winning Guatemalan poet-diplomat, novelist, playwright and journalist.
 Asturias helped establish Latin American literature's contribution to mainstream Western culture, and at the same time drew attention to the importance of indigenous cultures, especially those of his native Guatemala.

 In 1995 he received an honorary degree from the Department of Humanities of the Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala.

Rafael Arévalo Martínez (25 July 1884, Guatemala City –12 June 1975, Guatemala City) was a Guatemalan writer.
 He was a novelist, short-story writer, poet, diplomat, and director of Guatemala’s national library for more than 20 years.
 Though Arévalo Martínez’s fame has waned, he is still considered important because of his short stories, and one in particular: "The man who resembled a horse" and the biography of president Manuel Estrada Cabrera, "¡Ecce Pericles!"
.
 Arévalo Martínez was director of the Guatemalan National Library from 1926 until 1946, when he became for a year Guatemala’s representative before the Pan American Union in Washington, D.C. He was the political and literary counterpart of his more famous countryman, Nobel Prize winner Miguel Ángel Asturias; while Arévalo Martínez was an unapologetic admirer of the United States, Asturias was a bitter critic of the New Orleans-based United Fruit Company (now part of United Brands Company), which he felt had plundered his country.
