Today, the Ecuador team met its Dutch counterpart in the World Cup 2022 World Cup, in the State of Qatar, and here we get to know the history of literature in Ecuador, that country in South America, where early literature was affected by Ecuador, as is the case in the rest of South America in the Spanish golden era, and one oldest Examples of this is Jacinto Kulahawazo, an American Indian leader of a northern village in Ebara, born in the late seventeenth century.
Despite the early repression and discrimination against the indigenous population by the Spaniards, Jacinto Kulahawazo learned to read and write in the Castilian language, but his works were written in the language of Kichua, and in order to preserve their works, many Inca poets had to resort to the use of the Latin alphabet to write in their mother Kishua, including drama Inca, “Holntai”, the oldest literary piece of any Indian American language in South America.
Kulahawazo imprisoned and burned his work, but it appeared several centuries later, when a crew of builders restored the walls of a colonial church in Kito and found a hidden manuscript of a Spanish translation of the Kitchua language written by Kulahawazo, entitled “Marathia to the dead of Athawalba” describing the sadness and inability of the people of the Inca to lose their king Atahlua.
Among the contemporary Ecuadorian writers are the novelist Jorge Enrique Adom, the poet Jorge Carrera Andradi and Benjamin Carion, the poets Midardo Angel Silva, Jorge Carrera and Luis Alberto Costales, novelist Enrique Gilbert, Jorge Ikaza, author of Hwsipongo, translated into many languages, storyteller Pablo Palacio and novelist Alice Yaniz Kosio..
