In Spanish.

After the earthquakes of 1917-1918 Guatemala City was rebuilt and its "inhabitants ... they found in the Deco style the wickers of the image with which they dressed her..." The book is "an articulate and accurate account of the complete journey of the Deco. Its index allows us to travel from its origins and its first evolutions to its popular emergence, passing through the offices of architecture, the decorative patterns of the forge and wood, or the configuration of the residential models of the neighborhoods. "An extraordinary and exciting journey, but it is also rigorous and academic. Its author, Arturo Portillo, has spent years studying the subject and collecting data, images, and stories. In this book he has poured everything." (HKB Translation) --Page 4.
