El guiño sonriente de José Martí en sus apuntes de viaje por Guatemala

Abstract

In the present work an approach is made to what José Martí wrote about Guatemala during the time that he walked on its soil, the first blow astounds the strength that at twenty-four years of age reaches its Latin Americanist vocation. Even before setting foot there, the homeland of which he divines its virtues and mysteries as if it were his own has become the gravitational center of an ardor whose literary garb does not always encourage unambiguous evaluations. The one in question is known as Diario de Izabal a Zacapa.
