Ainda não disponível em português — exibindo a versão em inglês.

Los que se van is a collection of short stories published in 1930 by Ecuadorian writers Demetrio Aguilera Malta, Joaquín Gallegos Lara, and Enrique Gil Gilbert, members of the so-called Guayaquil Group. The work is considered the most famous short story collection in Ecuadorian literature, and marked a definitive break with the costumbrista literature that had previously dominated the national literary scene. The collection contains 24 short stories depicting the lives of coastal Ecuadorian peasants. Set in the rural areas of Ecuador's coast, the stories explore the daily struggles of characters who represent the montubio and cholo populations, highlighting their poverty and interactions with family and the land. The book was published in 1930 by Zea y Paladines in Guayaquil. Upon release, it was met with strong criticism from conservative literary circles, who objected to its crude language and the perceived exaggeration in its narratives. The authors were accused of trying to create international scandal and tarnish the country's image by portraying characters driven by lust, alcohol, or jealousy.
