Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an engaging historical novel which tells the story of two indigenous Mexican children, Porria and Ramon, living in the late 19th century. It is a vivid and intimate portrait of their community and its struggle for survival during a time of great social change following Mex…ican Independence. The novel is not without its tragedy, and it lays bare the immense hardships and loss of life which characterised the Mexican Civil War, as well as the prejudice and poverty which the indigenous population faced under Spanish colonial rule. The author writes with both sensitivity and sorrow as she describes the impact of the war on ordinary people. Through the courage and resilience of the characters, it is a story that ultimately inspires hope. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
