Mariano Azuela Los de abajo Title: Los de abajo Author: Mariano Azuela Format: Kindle Edition Language: Pages: 0 Publisher: , 0 ISBN: Format: PDF / Kindle / ePub Size: 5.4 MB Download: allowed Description Written in 1915 and first published in a small El Paso paper, LOS DE ABAJO has gained universal recognition as the greatest novel of the Mexican Revolution. It is one of the first novels in which political revolution as the means of freedom and self-determination was addressed as a serious matter. Insightful reviews Alberto Jacobo Baruqui: Esta es sin duda la mejor obra de Mariano Azuela, quien formó parte del grupo de "Los Dorados". "Los de Abajo" tiene la cercanía al movimiento de la Revolución con unos ojos analíticos, valientes y sinceros. Se comparten sin miedo las vivencias y esclarece algunas de las barbaries que existene en todas los movimientos de su clase, donde casi siempre se termina una injusticia para dar entrada a una distinta pero con nombres y esquemas diferentes. Dentro del Clan de Francisco "Pancho" Villa, Azuela aprovecha sus conocimientos médicos para colocarse "cerca" de algunos de los protagonistas revolucionarios, y lleva la historia con el lenguaje mismo del pueblo, que sin duda llega a ser divertido, no sólo por el lenguaje mismo (de por sí alegre y dicharachero), sino también por la forma particular de llevarse entre el grupo de Demetrio Macias. Sin ser tan útil como libro de historia, nos muestra lo difícil que es convencerse para pelear por unos ideales y lo fácil que es olvidarlos, sin saber ya por que se lucha la historia continúa ya mas por inercia (y sin saber qué seguirá de esta lucha, pero con un nuevo nombramiento militar) que por lograr un objetivo común como lo era el tener sus propias tierras. Los personajes muestran los principales tipos de roles que se jugaban en los grupos militares y revolucionarios: Camila con la fidelidad, El Güero y La Pintada, como los intempestivos, el Mantecas en la alegría, etc. etc Sus ocurrencias y puntadas, las mujeres y el alcohol ayudan a que esta historia sea ademas de real (y ciníca), fácil de representar en nuestra imaginación. Son como buenos mexicanos revolucionarios: Valientes y alegres... Ingesu!. AJ Katsumi: First of all, this is NOT a history book. If you're interested in learning about the Mexican Revolution pick up a history book. Second of all, you didn't get the point. It's not about the life of rural Mexico, or how people lived, or how they lost their ideals. It's about joining "la bola" the mass of people fighting for no particular reason. The "campesinos" didn't really join the fight because they believed they were getting land and freedom, they joined because they believed in their leaders, joining the fight for the love of their "jefe" or simply to join "la bola". I'm sure many of you will disagree with me, and I'm sure there were exceptions to what I'm saying, but I'm only commenting on what Mariano Azuela was trying to get across; don't forget, Azuela fought in the war. Mike Dunne: Next year marks the centennial of the publication of Mariano Azuela's "The Underdogs," often said to be "the greatest novel" of the Mexican Revolution of 20 November 1910. It may be, though it isn't a sweeping and detailed account of that fierce but doomed uprising. Rather, it's a slim book of brief segments that look at the revolution in intimate terms by focusing on the innocence, confusion, courage and eventual disillusionment of Demetrio Macias, an illiterate Indian who like other disenfranchised peasant farmers sees in the revolt a shaky chance to save if not enhance the life of his family and his farm. Azuela's brisk chapters are finely etched, tracing the path of Macias and his fellow rebels from idealism and incredible marksmanship to pointless brutality, plundering, drunkenness and kidnap. Their goal morphs from hopes of agrarian reform to a vicious cycle of bloodlust and theft. It's a familiar story, as common now as then, that war corrupts, violence begets violence, fighting becomes its own end, but it is presented here with personality, sympathy and even humor. Azuela's alter-ego is the anxious tenderfoot Luis Cervantes, medical student and journalist, just as Azuela was when he began to write and when he signed on to Francisco I. Madero's push to oust dictator Porforio Diaz. When Madero initially was successful, Azuela was appointed director of education in the Mexican state of Jalisco. Madero subsequently was murdered, however, and Azuela split for El Paso, where "The Underdogs" initially was published in a local newspaper in 1915. Not until nearly a decade later, however, did it start to gather acclaim. Azuela's subsequent writings turned more critical of the revolution, but his early disenchantment is a building theme in "The Underdogs." José Manuel Frías: "Los de abajo" es una novela breve de Mariano Azuela, quien ejerció como médico militar en las tropas revolucionarias mexicanas. Aquella experiencia le permitió conocer desde dentro el fenómeno de los angeles revolución en dichas tierras. Aquellos conocimientos fueron plasmados en su libro, escrito en 1915 y publicado a modo de diario, por trozos, en el transcurso del propio conflicto bélico, un acto de valentía al contar en el texto aquello que otros autores preferían silenciar.Azuela presenta con crudeza en "Los de abajo" los angeles realidad compleja de l. a. Revolución Mexicana, sin dejar de lado los delitos de guerra (robos, saqueos, torturas, asesinatos) cometidos por los insurgentes. Muchos de los revolucionarios carecían de ideales, y otros los perdieron con los abusos cometidos, ya que defendían inicialmente al pueblo al que ellos mismos, después, damnificaron. Alejandro: This evaluation is bilingual. First, you'll find the English model and after that one, you will discover the Spanish version.I needed to learn this novel as a part of the Spanish application in excessive school, in my country, Costa Rica. Los de Abajo that it may be translated as "The ones from bellow". i believe it is a wordgame, on account that certainly the most characters are from the low degrees of society yet also, so much of them are squaddies that presupposed to be very brave, in order that they have much "balls" that certainly they are often found... good bellow. This e-book is a fictional tale set in the course of the Mexican progressive battle (1910-1920) and it truly is written through the mexican, Mariano Azuela, who used to be an army medic in that war, in truth he needed to exile himself to El Paso, Texas, and it used to be there that he wrote this book, first in segments released on an area newspaper and later it was once released ultimately as a novel. an exceptional factor in regards to the publication whereas it mentions colossal names like Pancho Villa, all these historical characters are secondary and in lots of instances purely pointed out and never truly having lively roles within the story. The publication narrates the fictitious innovative crusade of Colonel Demetrio Macías, and in virtually the total book, the reader perceived the occasions during the eyes and evaluations of Luis Cervantes, a tender idealist guy who joined the Macías' rebel army. one other benefit of the ebook is that the author, Mariano Azuela, did not glorify the struggle yet with none remorse, it portraited as whatever dark, violent and senseless. the radical exhibits how ironic is the location of the innovative forces the place they've got battled for years with no need any genuine political place or maybe figuring out why they have been in both sides of the war. additionally indicates how poverty was once ruling within the Mexican cities to an severe that even the innovative squaddies have cash however the cities did not have something to sell, slightly surviving, wondering how any solid might be doing that innovative struggle to the civilians in the course of the battling. Irony is a robust factor within the narrative of the story, because the very starting of it truly is in line with it, due that Demetrio Macías, the most personality did not have any curiosity to be a part of the revolution but if an enemy of Macías, classified him as a member of the innovative forces, the Federal military attempted to arrest him, however it provoked as a substitute that he may shape his personal ragtag military and entering, for real, within the revolution. Also, i feel that Mariano Azuela with purpose or not, he acomplished completely with this novel to teach the seven lethal sins: Wrath, Greed, Sloth, Pride, Lust, Envy and Gluttony, the place the most character, Demetrio Macías is accountable of every sin sooner or later in his life, but additionally the remainder of the characters are accountable of a few of these sins. displaying that during a war, or even worse, a civil conflict (since creating a battle to damage another's kingdom is bad, making one to ruin your own's kingdom is even worse), the sins run unfastened inflicting amok. Yo tuve que leer esta novela como parte del programa de Español en el colegio, en mi país, Costa Rica. Los de Abajo pienso que es un juego de palabras, ya que en efecto los personajes principales son de los nivels bajos de l. a. sociedad pero también, los angeles mayoría de ellos son soldados que se supone son muy valientes, o sea ellos tienen muchas "bolas" que en efecto pueden ser encontradas... bueno abajo. Este libro es una historia ficticia situada en medio de l. a. Guerra Revolucionaria Mexicana (1910-1920), y está escrita, por el mexicano, Mariano Azuela, que fué medico militar en esa guerra, de hecho he tuvo que exiliarse a sí mismo a El Paso, Texas, y fué allí donde el escribió el libro, primero en segmentos publicados en un periódico neighborhood y después fué publicada finalmente como novela. Un cosa buena sobre el libro es que aunque menciona nombres grandes como Pancho Villa, todos esos personajes históricos son secundarios y en muchas casos solo mencionados y no tiene roles activos en l. a. historia. El libro narra l. a. ficticia campaña revolucionaria del Coronel Demetrio Macías y en casi todo el libro, el lector percibe los eventos a través de los ojos y opiniones de Luis Cervantes, un joven idealista que se une a los angeles armada insurgente de Macías. Otra cosa buena del libro es que el autor, Mariano Azuela, no glorifica l. a. guerra sino que sin ningún remordimiento, los angeles muestra como algo oscuro, violento y sin sentido. los angeles novela muestra que irónica es los angeles situación de las fuerzas revolucionarias donde ellos han batallado por años sin tener ninguna verdadera posición política o incluso saber porqué están ellos en cualquier lado de los angeles guerra. También muestra como l. a. pobreza reina en los pueblos Mexicanos a un extremo que incluso los soldados revolucionarios tienen dinero pero los pueblos no tienen nada para vender, apenas sobreviviendo, cuestionando que bien puede estar haciendo esta guerra revolucionaria a los civiles en medio de l. a. batalla. los angeles ironía es un punto fuerte en l. a. narrativa de los angeles historia, ya que desde el mismo principio de ella está basado en esto, debido a que Demetrio Macías, el personaje valuable no tiene ningún interés en ser parte de l. a. revolución pero cuando un enemigo de Macías, lo marca como miembro de las fuerzas revolucionarias, el ejército Federal trata de arrestarlo, pero esto provoca en su lugar que él vaya a formar su propia armada de desarrapados y entrando, de verdad, en l. a. revolución. También, yo pienso que Mariano Azuela con intención o no, logró perfectamente con esta novela mostrar los siete pecados mortales: Ira, Codicia, Pereza, Orgullo, Lujuria, Envidia y Glotonería, donde el personaje principal, Demetrio Macías es culpable de cada pecado en algún punto de su vida, pero también el resto de los personajes son culpables de algunos de estos pecados. Demostrando que en una guerra, y todavía peor, una guerra civil (ya que hacer una guerra para destruir el país de otro es malo, pero hacer una para destruir tu propio país es peor), los pecados corren libres causando destrucción. Haley: learn my complete evaluation here: http://ilayreading.com/2015/09/03/the...Azuela writes approximately an exile within the Mexican Revolution who takes up hands opposed to the Federales, and types his personal band of rebels.The e-book itself is brief and intensely fastpaced. It simply took approximately hours for me to finish, even taking my time to attempt and comprehend what was once going on. i used to be examining a kind of unfastened Amazon English-version of a Spanish book, and loose translations consistently have a clumsy pacing, simply of their nature. yet I don’t imagine that was once my problem, really. I simply undeniable don’t be aware of whatever concerning the Mexican Revolution. Honestly, I had it harassed with the Texas Revolution–the one Sam Houston was once concerned in. whilst i spotted how incorrect that was…well I felt relatively stupid.The publication used to be released in 1915, which in keeping with Wikipedia is true in the midst of everything. when you have been in Mexico in 1915, you KNEW what used to be happening, and the ebook is written for that audience. I don’t have a lot of a verdict here…I’m now not the simplest judge. What I do know, is that i'm going so as to add a few books at the Mexican Revolution to my TBR. whilst ignorant a couple of subject, the one factor i will be able to do is learn extra approximately it!
