El Jetón is the final novel published by Salvadoran writer Arturo Ambrogi shortly before his death in 1936. It is considered a classic in Salvadoran literature.According to one review (translated from Spanish): It is the most mature and complete work of the author. It presents a personal vision of the rural environment of El Salvador. With lucid, detailed, dazzling, tremendous prose, he penetrates the customs and the reality of the agricultural worker, wrapped in an atmosphere of superstition, indigence, myth, and fantasy.
