Pittsburgh. 1992. University Of Pittsburgh Press. 1st of This Critical Edition. Very Good in Slightly Worn Wrappers. 0822954842. Translated from the Spanish by Frederick H. Fornoff. 165 pages. paperback. Cover illustration by Juan Soriano. keywords: Literature Translated Mexico Latin America. FROM THE PUBLISHER - This epic novel of the Mexican Revolution was originally published in installments in 1915 in an El Paso, Texas, newspaper. Since then, THE UNDERDOGS - the story of a courageous Indian farmer who almost unwittingly rises to a generalship in Pancho Villa's rebel army-has steadily gained recognition in Mexico and Latin America, winning renown as the classic novel about the war. Despite the international interest in Latin American fiction generated by writers like Carlos Fuentes and Gabriel Garcia Marquez since the 1960's, The Underdogs has yet to receive the full recognition it deserves in North America. This new translation by Frederick Fornoff, based on the most authentic manuscript, captures the flavor of Azuela's masterpiece-his lyrical portrayal of culture and landscape; his sparkling, spare style. Critical essays offer historical and literary perspectives on the text. Ahead of his time, Azuela in this 1915 novel challenged conventional narrative technique in ways North American writers would not adopt for decades. inventory #19308 ISBN: 0822954842., 0<
