El Senor Presidente (Mister President) is a 1946 novel written in Spanish by Nobel Prize winning Guatemalan writer and diplomat Miguel Angel Asturias (1899, 1974). A landmark text in Latin American literature, El Senor Presidente explores the nature of political dictatorship and its effects on society. Asturias makes early use of a literary technique now known as magic realism. One of the most notable works of the dictator novel genre, El Senor Presidente developed from an earlier Asturias short story, written to protest social injustice in the aftermath of a devastating earthquake in the author's home town.
