Regarding Cesar Brañas. César Brañas (Antigua Guatemala, December 13, 1899 - Guatemala City, February 22, 1976) was a Guatemalan journalist, essayist, literary critic, and poet. As a journalist, he collaborated for years with the newspaper El Imparcial, where he was in charge of the cultural section and wrote a column to share his opinions on literary and artistic matters. He died after suffering serious injuries during the 1976 earthquake, which partially destroyed many locations in Guatemala. He left his library and residence to the University of San Carlos de Guatemala in his will.
