NUMISMATIC ANGUISH

"The Nobel Laureate is: Christian Matthias Theodor Mommsen. I found it by using the search button and the word numismatic. This also turned up a second quotation: Miguel Angel Asturio used the term "numismatic anguish" in his acceptance speech. I do not know the meaning of numismatic in this context."

This novel shares - consciously or unconsciously - the characteristics of the indigenous texts; their freshness and power, the numismatic anguish in the eyes of the Creoles who awaited the dawn in the colonial night, more luminous however than this night that threatens us now. Above all, it is the affirmation of the optimism of those writers that defied the Inquisition, opening a breach in the conscience of the people for the march of the Liberators.
