El árbol de la cruz (The Tree of the Cross) is a lesser-known work by Miguel Ángel Asturias, Nobel Prize winner in Literature in 1967. Published posthumously in 1993 by Editorial Praxis, it is a brief and symbolic text that reflects his enduring concern with spirituality and Latin American identity. Blending Christian imagery with indigenous cosmovision, the tree stands as a figure of sacrifice and redemption—hallmarks of Asturias’s mythical and baroque style.
