- Summary:
- "Mamita Yunai es una novela mítica en la literatura centroamericana. Su primera edición es de 1941, pero en 1957, en México, apareció una segunda edición definitiva que añadía dos secciones al libro primitivo y obliga a reconsiderar los límites genéricos. Ensalzada por sus implicaciones ideológicas y traducida a muchos idiomas, sobre todo dentro del ámbito del denominado "socialismo real", fue por los mismos motivos criticada y prohibida. Más de quince años tardó en aparecer una segunda edición en su país, Costa Rica, sin embargo, hoy se la considera una obra imprescindible en la literatura hispanoamericana por denunciar las condiciones laborales en las plantaciones de fruta. "Mamita Yunai" es más que una novela militante, porque Carlos Luis Fallas (1909-1966) supo mostrar en ella la fuerza interior de un combatiente contra las injusticias, tanto laborales como de la vida misma, creando una serie de personajes cuya verdad humana llegó a emocionar al Pablo Neruda de "Canto general" -- Back cover.
- "Mamita Yunai is a mythical novel in Central American literature. Its first edition is from 1941, but in 1957, in Mexico, a second definitive edition appeared that added two sections to the primitive book and forced us to reconsider the generic limits. Praised for its ideological implications and translated into many languages, especially within the scope of so-called "real socialism", it was criticized and banned for the same reasons. It took more than fifteen years for a second edition to appear in his country, Costa Rica, however, today it is considered an essential work in Latin American literature for denouncing working conditions in fruit plantations. "Mamita Yunai" is more than a militant novel, because Carlos Luis Fallas (1909-1966) knew how to show in it the inner strength of a fighter against injustices, both at work and in life itself, creating a series of characters whose human truth It moved Pablo Neruda in "Canto general" -- English translation of back cover.
