Description
Hailed as the greatest novel of the Mexican Revolution, The Underdogs recounts the story of an illiterate but charismatic Indian peasant farmerâ s part in the rebellion against Porfirio DÃaz, and his subsequent loss of belief in the cause when the revolutionary alliance becomes factionalized. Azuelaâ s masterpiece is a timeless, authentic portrayal of peasant life, revolutionary zeal, and political disillusionment.
