L'écriture poétique et baroque de Miguel Angel Asturias, teintée de surréalisme, donne à ces légendes force et magie. Loin de prétendre à l'exactitude, Asturias réinvente les anciens mythes de son pays et plonge le lecteur dans un monde ensorcelant où, comme le dit Paul Valéry, "le volcan, les moines, l'Homme-Pavot, le Marchand de bijoux sans prix, les "bandes d'ivrognesses dominicales", les "maîtres mages qui vont dans les villes enseigner la fabrication des tissus et la valeur du Zéro" composent le plus délirant des songes."
