Early life and education

Dalton was the son of Winnall Dalton and Marna Garca Medrano. Winnall Dalton immigrated to Mexico and later moved to El Salvador in the early 1920s. Winnall Dalton married Aida Ulloa and moved his wife's huge farm to agriculture. He survived an assassination attempt. Winnall Dalton's nurse in the Salvadoran hospital, Marna Medrano, gave birth to Roque Dalton. She gave their children a high-quality education thanks to their hard work and a lot of luck.

In San Salvador, Roque graduated from Externado San José, an exclusive Jesuit academy for boys. He was then taken by his father to Santiago, Chile, to study law in the University of Chile. There, he developed close links with leftist students and attended lectures with Mexican artist Diego Rivera. He exhibited a keen interest in socialism around this period.

When he returned to El Salvador, he was accepted by the University of El Salvador's law school, and in 1955, he and Guatemalan poet Otto René Castillo established Crculo Literario Universitario, which published some of Central America's most popular literary figures.

Roque Dalton Career

Writing and political career

He went to Havana, Mexico, where he was received by Casa de las Américas, a gathering place for many exiled Latin American writers. Dalton went clandestine to El Salvador in 1965, but was arrested and arrested quickly. He awaited execution in Cojutepeque, but was miraculously saved. There was an earthquake and the wall from his prison cell fell down. Dalton profited from this and escaped. He slipped into a fading religious procession and met his fellow revolutionaries who helped him flee to Cuba once more. He was then sent to Prague as a correspondent for The International Review: Conflicts of Peace and Socialism. While visiting Prague, he wrote his internationally acclaimed Taberna y Otros Lugares. Miguel Mármol, a leading Salvadoran communist who fought in the 1932 Salvadoran pesant revolt and was in exile in Prague, wrote a book about him.

Roque Dalton, a 1970 arrival, was a well-known figure in Salvador's left. He attempted to become a revolutionary soldier, but for this reason, he served in military training camps in Cuba several times. "Politics are taken up at the risk of life, or else you don't talk about it."

When he was ready as a soldier, he applied for membership in Farabundo Mart, the Salvadoran Marxist-Leninist political-military group. However, Roque's application was turned down by the company's leader, Salvador Cayetano Carpio, who claimed that Roque's contribution to the revolution was as a writer, not as a foot-older. Because of this, he applied for the ERP - Ejércción del Pueblo - (People's Revolutionary Army in English). Despite Dalton's refusal to join the FPL, both his sons joined the FPL in the late 1970s. Roque Dalton's military career included collaboration with Guatemalan revolutionaries in the development of EGP - Ejército Guerrillero de los Pobres (Guerrilla Army of the Poor in English).
