Honduras Overview
Honduras is a republic in Central America with the capital Tegucigalpa. It is about a third the size of Germany and forms a land bridge between the Caribbean and the Pacific. The territory consists of a mountainous area with up to 2,849 m (Cerro Las Minas) high mountains. Only in the northeast is there a wide coastal plain. Honduras has a tropical climate. It lies on the path of tropical hurricanes, which is why it is one of the countries hardest hit by climate disasters. About 90% of the residents are descendants from the union of European immigrants and members of the indigenous peoples (mestizos, German: Mestizos) and 7% are of indigenous origin, mainly descendants of the Maya. Around 50% of the population are poor, just under 17% live in extreme poverty. Many Hondurans therefore moved to the United States in search of work. In addition to Spanish, colloquial languages are several indigenous languages and in the coastal region there is Creole-tinged English. Culturally, the nation is shaped by Spanish-European and indigenous traditions as well as American mass culture. Historically, the western part of Honduras was under the control of the Maya. Christopher Columbus landed in 1502 on the Caribbean coast, from 1524 the country was settled by Spaniards. In 1838 Honduras became independent. Afterwards, military coups, civil wars and border conflicts with neighboring states rocked the country. Domestic political conditions stabilized in the 1980s. In 2009 a serious political crisis culminated in a coup. Unsolved problems in Honduras are corruption, drug-related crime and the violent youth gangs of the Maras. With a gross national income (GNI) of (2019) US $ 2,390 per resident, Honduras is one of the poorest countries in Latin America. The most important export goods are coffee, electrical engineering, clothing, bananas, crustaceans and palm oil.

Honduran literature
Honduran literature, is one of Latin American literature in Spanish.
After an epigonal neoclassical with José Cecilio del Valle (* 1780 [?], † 1834 [?]) And a belated romanticism with Carlos F. Gutiérrez (* 1861, † 1899; »Angelina«, 1898) and others. Only modernism found contemporary representatives with Juan Ramón Molina (* 1875, † 1908) and Froilán Turcios (* 1875, † 1943).
The folk-song simplicity of the works of Alfonso Guillén Zelaya (* 1888, † 1947) and Rafael Heliodoro Valle (* 1891, † 1959) marked the turning away from modernism. In the poetry of Jacobo Cárcamo (* 1914, † 1959) to Oscar Acosta (* 1933) and others. as well as in the novels by Ramón Amaya Amador (* 1916, † 1966), political and socially critical engagement comes to the fore.
The best-known younger authors are the poet Roberto Sosa (* 1930, † 2011) and the storytellers Julio Escoto (* 1944) and Rigoberto Paredes (* 1948).
