Résumé
"The phoenix is an invincible mythological bird that is consumed by fire only to ariseagain from its own ashes. In Miguel Angel Asturiuss El señor presidente and Manlio Arguetas Un día enla vida, the regenerative forces enshrined in love and social revolution frequently are linkedmetaphorically to birds, and thus these metaphors evoke the eternal cycle of destruction and recreationof the phoenix. In both novels, the struggle to transcend tyranny has as much to dowith the power of love to transcend death as with the power of social revolution to construct anew world from the ashes of oppression."
