Let us follow the sources back to the millenarian origins of indigenous literature in its 3 great moments: Maya, Aztec and Inca... - The indigenous do not distinguish between reading and reciting since for them it's the same thing - reciting the text to the listeneners in song form... (M.A. Asturias, Nobel Lec. 1967)

The Spanish authorities, slow to fathom the message containing so much spirit, imagination and melancholy, wisely order the confiscation of the story of Inca Garcilaso - where the Indians have "learned so many dangerous things!" ... - The novelist bears wittness like the apostle! - Like Paul trying to escape, the writer is confronted with pathetic reality of the world that surrounds him - the stark reality of our countries that overwhelms and blinds us and, throwing us to our knees, forces us to shout out: "Why do you persecute me?" - All his novels are concerned with repression and injustice - against the poor and the weak - both in Guatemala and the rest of Latin America... (M.A. Asturias, Documentary 1967)

Asturias paints in dark colours - against this background the rare light makes a so much stronger impression with his passionate but artistically well balanced protest against tyranny, injustice, slavery, and arbitrariness - He transforms glowing indignation into great literary art - This is indeed admirable... (M.A. Asturias, Banquet Sp. 1967)

24.08.2009 - Interpretation of dali48

Later in life the author described himself as a child "without home and family." - Some critics feel that these early traumas form the background for the sense of loss and regret which permeate his writing... - Young women also appear prominently in other Kawabata's works, such as Nemureru Bijo (Sleeping Beauty, 1961) and the short novel Tanpopo (Dandelion, published posthumously)... - The novel was serialized in the Asahi Shimbun newspaper, bringing modernist, experimental fiction to a wider audience within Japan - Kawabata was married in 1931, and afterward settled in the ancient samurai capital of Kamakura, southwest of Tokyo, spending the winters in Zushi... - In the depth of the mirror the evening landscape moved by, the mirror and the reflected figures like motion pictures superimposed one on the other. The figures and the background were unrelated, and yet figures, transparent and intangible, and the background, dim in the gathering darkness, melted into a sort of symbolic world not of this world - Particularly when a light out in the mountains shone in the center of the girl's face - Shimamura felt his chest rise at the inexpressible beauty of it"... ( Y. Kawabata, From The Snow Country, P.A.C.)
