Beschreibung
In this deeply moving picture of the turmoil of the first great revolution of the twentieth century—the Mexican Revolution of 1910—Azuela depicts the anarchy and the idealism, the base human passions and the valor and nobility of the simple folk, and, most striking of all, the fascination of revolt—that peculiar love of revolution for revolution's sake that has characterized most of the social upheavals of the twentieth century. Los de Abajo is considered "the only novel of the Revolution" and, since the spring of 1925, has been published in several languages and more than twenty-seven editions. Azuela's writing is sometimes racy and virile, sometimes poetic and subdued, but always in perfect accord with the mood and character of the story.

Über den Autor
Mariano Azuela (1873-1952) was a Mexican novelist and physician best known for his influential work ""The Underdogs"" (""Los de Abajo""), which offers a powerful portrayal of the Mexican Revolution. Born in Lagos de Moreno, Mexico initially trained as a physician but became increasingly involved in literature and politics, particularly during the revolutionary period. His writing is characterized by its realism and social critique, reflecting the experiences and struggles of ordinary people caught in the tumult of revolution. Azuela's works often focus on themes of injustice, disillusionment, and the complexities of human nature.
In addition to ""The Underdogs,"" he authored several other novels, essays, and short stories, contributing significantly to Mexican literature. Azuela's legacy continues to resonate, as he is regarded as a key figure in the development of modern Mexican narrative and a voice for the marginalized in society. He moved to Mexico City, where he spent the remainder of his life writing and practicing medicine among the impoverished.
