5.0 out of 5 stars An astounding novel of human misery and triumph, July 5, 1998
By A Customer
I read this great book by Miguel Angel Asturias a few years ago. It is set in the beautiful yet corrupt country of Guatemala, where justice is rarely done. The book is masterfully written by Guatemala's best know author and nobel prize winner, Miguel Angel Asturias. I definitely recomend this book to anyone looking for an entertaining and revealing look at Guatemala's former political and social situation, one that can still be seen in many countries of the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Un libro sumamente interesante de leer., September 26, 1998
By A Customer
Este libro menciona las mas duras cualidades de una presidencia. Ademas incluye experiencias propias para darle mas poder a las descripciones que el autor hace. Incluso, el autor se pone dentro de la novelas para darle mayor fuerza a lo que esta escribiendo porque el ha vivido esos momentos de angustias y dolor. Lo recomiendo de verdad. Ademas es un libro que no debe de faltar en su biblioteca.

3.0 out of 5 stars This edition is an abridgement. . ., June 2, 2007
This review is from: El señor presidente (Paperback)
1 star = Amazon's publication information
5 star = the novel itself.

This edition is an abridgement of the original novel. Be warned: there is no indication in Amazon's publication info that this is an abridgement, except for the page count (120 pages).

This edition is a good tool for those learning Latin American Spanish.

Again the Santillana Edition is not the full novel.
