<u>The statement is completely true. </u>Even though many records of the pre-colonial period haven been lost, Latin America literature has given great works in a short period of time.
We can see their vigour in the literature about their culture, tradition and history. It is necessary to mention Ricardo Palma with his <em>tradiciones peruanas</em>, Domingo Sarmiento <em>Facundo </em>(shows the dichotomy between civilization and barbarism). This wave of Romanticism brings another great work and that is <em>Martín Fierro </em>(José Hernández), representing the authentic Argentine tradition and culture.
Latin America literature has shown its vigour in many revolutionary minds. We first think of José Martí (Cuba) and his revolutionary ideas and poetry. Another great fruit of Latin America literature was the creation of the literary movement called <em>Modernismo</em>. It began with Rubén Darío and his book <em>Azul</em>. This is the first literary movement originating from this continent.
After that, Latin American authors have been producing original works and movements. Latin American Boom is well-known all over the world (it includes writers such as Jorge Luis Borges, Julio Cortázar, Gabriel García Márquez, etc.). A very close movement that arises in the same literary surrounding is magic realism. This great invention has brought a literature revolution that influenced authors worldwide.
A similarity they both share is the fact that the death of multiple man is heavily present in both stories however their locations and background are completely different.
