His works, including El libro del trópico (1918) and El jetón (1936), vividly depict rural Salvadoran life with rich descriptions and irony. Influenced by travels in Europe and Latin America, he interacted with figures like Rubén Darío. As director of the National Library and a mentor to Salarrué, he played a key role in Salvadoran literary culture. His legacy endures as a bridge between traditional storytelling and modernist aesthetics"—Wikipedia. // Literature of Central America. El Salvador.
