Máximo Soto Hall

Máximo Soto Hall (1871-1944) was a Guatemalan novelist. He is most known for his 1899 novel ''El problema'', though he is recognized in Central America for the whole of his literary output. He was born in Guatemala City in 1871, and served in the dictatorship of Manuel Estrada (whose government served as a model for Miguel Ángel Asturias' novel ''El Señor Presidente'') until 1919, at which time he emigrated to Costa Rica, and then to Buenos Aires, Argentina, where he served as a journalist for the newspaper ''La Prensa''. He died in 1944 in Buenos Aires and his body is interred in the San Lázaro cemetery in Antigua Guatemala. Many of his novels, including ''El problema'' and ''La sombra de la Casa Blanca'', concern the presence and influence of the United States in Central America. ''La sombra'' was published by El Ateneo in Buenos Aires. His works traverse a great number of literary traditions, including Modernismo and the historical novel, the latter influenced by his fellow countryman José Milla. He also wrote poetry, as well as political treatises and sociological works. Provided by Wikipedia
