About the author

Mario Monteforte Toledo

38 books5 followers
El segundo novelista más importante de Guatemala después de Míguel Ángel Asturias. Novelista, dramaturgo, sociólogo y político.

"Monteforte Toledo estuvo adscrito a sus inicios a la corriente criollista que inicia con su novela Anaité, publicada en 1948 y reafirmada con la novela Entre la Piedra y la Cruz, considerada como su más lograda obra literaria, aún cuando en esta última ya se nota evidencias de un examen más crítico de la relación indígena – ladino y el abandono de su visión romántica de esta dualidad”. (José A. Móbil 2002).

"A journey through the lives of a group of people consecrated to Death. People who, dissappointed with the ways of modern society, decide to go in search of a better life and a new world.
Johnson and his followers take the journey from the United States all the way to the mythical Eldorado. There they will live through death."

A beautifully written book, with a latinamerican style but with Anglo-Saxon characters. The story however centers in the lives of the "Death Worshipers" and not much on the things that happen while they're at Eldorado.
Enjoyed the book, but I'm here wishing I could have seen more adventure.
