Why has Latin American literature become a world-class cultural phenomenon? Who is the representative?

When it comes to Latin American literature, magic realism is the most influential one. In 1930s, asturias and Carpentier successively came to Paris, the holy land of literature and art, and met many surrealist writers such as louis aragon, Ai Lvya and André Breton. At this point, the exploration of new creative styles has also begun. In Latin American literature, poetry and folk songs occupy an important position in the early days, not novels. However, the rise of magical realistic novels has also found a special expression for Latin American writers.

1930, asturias published the first story collection "The Legend of Guatemala", which was based on folk myths and the Maya's "Bible"-Popolvuh, and was regarded as the pioneering work of magical realism. Since then, his representative novels Mr. President (1946) and Corn Man (1949) have grafted myths and legends with stories, strongly satirizing reality. Some people commented that "without Mr. President, there would be no One Hundred Years of Solitude". 1967, asturias won the Nobel Prize in Literature because "his works are deeply rooted in Latin American and Indian traditions".

From 65438 to 0949, Carpentier's novel Kingdom on Earth broadened the meaning of magical realism. In his preface, he clearly pointed out that the social and historical reality should be expressed in a magical atmosphere, which had a great influence on later generations. Then 1955, juan rulfo's Pedro Paramo, Marquez said that he could recite it backwards, came out, and magical realism was technically mature. Then came the great prosperity of the "literary explosion" in the 1960s and 1970s, with outstanding works one after another, "overwhelming".

Besides, Garcí a Má rquez's works One Hundred Years of Solitude, Love in Cholera Period, General in the Labyrinth, etc., as well as Borges' poems and short stories, and a series of short stories by Argentine writer Cortassa, are all very stylish, and you will almost realize who wrote them. There is also the haunted house by the Chilean writer Allende and so on.
