Synopsis

This is the first authorized English translation of "Clarivigilia Primaveral," a poetic exploration of Mayan mythology surrounding the creation of the arts, by Guatemalan Nobel laureate Miguel Angel Asturias. The Nobel Committee took special note of "Clarivigilia Primaveral," calling it an “impressive” work that “deals with the very genesis of the arts and of poetic creation, in a language which seems to have assumed the bright splendor of the magical queztal's feathers and the glimmering of phosphorescent insects.” Prof. Gerald M. Martin, world-renowned expert on Latin American literature and an Asturias specialist and translator, has read this translation and called it "truly excellent," adding: "I would not have imagined it could look so good in English." The translation was undertaken with permission of the Asturias rights holders, ALLCA, University of Paris X, Nanterre, France.
