Underdogs - Mariano Azuela - Bog

- A Novel of the Mexican Revolution

Bag om Underdogs

The greatest novel of the Mexican Revolution, in a brilliant new translation by an award-winning translator The Underdogs is the first great novel about the first great revolution of the twentieth century. Demetrio Macias, a poor, illiterate Indian, must join the rebels to save his family. Courageous and charismatic, he earns a generalship in Pancho Villa's army, only to become discouraged with the cause after it becomes hopelessly factionalized. At once a spare, moving depiction of the limits of political idealism, an authentic representation of Mexico's peasant life, and a timeless portrait of revolution, "The Underdogs" is an iconic novel of the Latin American experience and a powerful novel about the disillusionment of war.
