The Under-Dogs, A Novel Of The Mexican Revolution, by Mariano Azuela, No Copyright, Originally Written in 1915 Under the Title Los De Abajo, 149 pages
Translated by E. Munguia, Jr., Illustrated by J. C. Orozco, With a Forward by Harriet de Onis (Foreword Copyright 1962)
A Signet Classic by The New American Library, Inc. First Signet Printing January 1963
From the back cover, "Ten years after its publication in a small El Paso [Texas] paper, The Underdogs achieved world-wide renown as the greatest novel of the Mexican Revolution.
"It is the story of Demetrio Macias, a naive, peace-loving Indian, who is forced to side with the rebels to save his family. In the course of battle, he becomes a compulsive militarist whose courage, almost despite himself, leads to a generalship in Villa's army.
"But as the Cause suffers defeat after defeat, Macias loses prestige and moral purpose at the hands of turncoats, camp followers, and the peasants who had once loved him.
"Carlton Beals wrote of this novel, 'The scenes have the brutality of Gorky. Azuela is the Mexican Chekhov only in so much as he is a doctor; in all else he is close to Gorky, with a touch of Gorky's terrific pessimism, but none of Gorky's revolutionary optimism.'"
Excellent Used Condition (EUC) with signs of previous ownership and use. The book is square with a solid and tight binding, no loose or missing pages and very slight browning/tanning throughout.
The covers have a few small creases and there are minor abrasions and smudges here and there. No pen or pencil marks were observed anywhere in the book.
The cover is clean and bright and the brutalist illustrations by Orozco are poignant and thought-provoking.
First come, first served. Cross posted. Smoke-free, pet-free home.
