I do not agree with Vince,
By Rudolph Tan "ezhuam" (China-Mexico-USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Los de abajo: novela de la revolución mexicana (Paperback)
I do not agree with you teh review given by Vince Cabrera. First of all, although the Laberynth of Solitude is indeed a great book. I consider that Octavio Paz enhanced Los de Abajo. Tell me if I am wrong, but many folkloric characteristics of mexicans are brightly depicted in Los de Abajo. For instance, you may see that macho man behavior in every protagonist of the story; the fact that for many people the mexican revolution was a disoriented fight, and even the bad words that are used... I think this is a very good book. However, I do not recommend it to everyone because understanding it, fully, requires a little bit of mexican cultural immersion to know more deeply what they are talking about. Oh yeah, and interest fact is that one of the protagonist of the story has a MANY similarities compared to Mariano Azuela, many people that this book was something lik eis autobiography. (although he does not explicitely says so)

Classic,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Los de abajo: novela de la revolución mexicana (Paperback)
This is a classic that I studied in college. My Prof. felt that this is a book everyone should read. Recently, I've become friends with the grandson of Pancho Villa through Facebook. And he's a young man!! |
