The author (1873-1952) knows first-hand what he writes about because he joined as a doctor an army that was part of Pancho Villa’s forces in the Mexican Revolution of 1910-14. What he saw and later wrote about soured him on the Revolution. He came to believe that the social justice being promoted by the revolt was equalized by the evils occurring.

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,...more

An important book this, and one that has been poorly translated in the past, so I advise you not to read the free versions out there.
As always with Norton, there are some great essays and other contextual docs here which provide much needed background and additional detail for those of us not too familiar with the Mexican Revolution.
The novel (or, really, novella) is well written and punchy - comparisons to the short sentences of Hemingway are not misplaced.

We’ve been there so many times and we are where we are today because we all smugly know that all of our Rising Up will be followed up immediately with a Rising Down. It’s too complicated too complex too ambiguous. Unless someone makes it clear to us but then we assure ourselves it can’t be so simple -- Change a light bulb! Stop eating meat! Save the planet! Or, down with racism! Down with sexism! Down with ablism! Down with whatever anti-LGBTQ is called! Social Justice Now!!!

While serving as a doctor in the Northern Division Azeuala somehow found the time to dash off this formally complex but brutally raw novel about the Mexican revolution, from its early, idealistic period to its moral and military collapse. This is fabulous, beginning as a scathingly subtle satire of heroic military literature before taking an abrupt nihilistic turn, some fascinating amalgam of The Forty Days of Musa Dagh and Heart of Darkness. And to recap, he wrote all of this literally while it...more

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 disenfranc...more

I really enjoyed it, this book is a very interesting and honest about the mexican revolution, even when this isn't an historical book about the mexican revolution war. The characters are honest and with realistic features, you'll find the honest leader who believed that only revolution will bring justice to the people and commands a small force of rebels, the poor who don't have anything to lose and obviously the rascal opportunist who take advantage of the war.

I loved reading this one! Several of the criticisms mentioned in other reviews are valid, yet where I felt Azuela excelled was in illustrating the 'gray'. No saintly protagonists nor sinister bad guys to be found...simply a portrait of real humans embroiled in a conflict where perhaps the only moral difference between the two parties depends on whom one is cheering for. Sure, Cervantes' ride off into the mercantile business seemed a bit of a stretch, but then no more so than Shakespeare relying...more

In Mariano Azuela's novel, Los de abajo, Demetrio Marcías, an Indian farmer is roped into joining the Revolution and leaving his wife and child behind. Along the way, he meets other people who join him in his fight against the Federals and eventually help him to earn the title as one of Villa's generals. This book discusses the discrepancies that lie between the rich and the poor, the educated and the illiterate, men and women, and the Revolutionaries and the Federals (Mexican government).

Before reading “Los de abajo,” by Mariano Azuela, I thought it would be a historical synopsis of the Mexican Revolution, but once I began reading I quickly learned that it actually tells the story of one individuals life throughout the revolution, the life of Demetrio Macías. Demetrio begins as an Indian uninvolved in the revolution, a husband wanting to protect his wife and his land, and transforms throughout the book into one of Pancho Villa’s top generals. Furthermore, this book appeals to re...more

Anyone who has learned anything about the Mexican Revolution knows that it was a complicated era in that nation’s history that just seemed to continue without end. The Underdogs was the first novel about the conflict even as it continued to grind on and written by a former participant Mariano Azuela.

It's hard to stomach a novel filled with so much violence and brutality. Los de abajo is like a shorter and more mild version of Blood Meridian, but all the same, it gets to a such a point that I imagine only sadists could derive any enjoyment from their reading. It may be said that, as a work of historical fiction, the quality of the book comes from its educational value and less from the pleasure of reading it.

Los de abajo Los de abajo is a novel by Mariano Azuela set during the Mexican Revolution. Although I don’t normally reach for novels set during military revolutionary times, this novel was more interesting than others in the sense that it has a complex web of characters that are all well developed and are constantly adding something to the story line. I think Azuela uses these characters very strategically to paint a full picture of the large gap between the rich and poor so the reader can bett...more

Los de Abajo, by Mariono Azuela, is a very powerful book that delivers insight into the process and ideologies of the Mexican Revolution. The book is filled with enlightening moments that reveal the often-violent acts of the Huerta government towards the rebels, known as the Underdogs. Personally, I truly enjoyed the marvelous novel due to the Robinhood element of the story, involving the resistance of the rag-tag army of Demetrio Macías, who is the main character.

The style was unusual, the story engrossing. The tale set during the Mexican Civil war of 1910 was brutal. The characters are well portrayed. I found the end really impressive; it made me glad to not be there and the actions taken seemed understandable, but not very effective for achieving the goals, with most confused about what they wanted.

An interesting read about how and why some joined the revolution, and how they in the end became that which they wished to overcome... but it was choppy for me, I’m not sure if it was the writing or the translation, but I didn’t feel as invested in these characters as I should have.

This is a funky and wonderful historical novel. At first, I thought the translation was just weird and off, but then, reading over the Spanish original, it's really just how Azuela writes. He's a real stylist, and I can see why this is the lasting work of the revolution period. It doesn't just reflect the history of the time, but the language is alive, it's sticky and it bubbles up here and there throughout the text with the baroque, romantic, and impulse to over-describe.

A couple of years ago I walked through a display of Mexican Revolution photographs in a museum in Rome, Italy. Meant primarily to showcase the era's photographers, the photographs were a sepia-toned illustration of the brutality and confusion of the times. All of the images we association with early 20th century Mexico were there--horsemen with crossed bandoliers and wide palm sombreros, women in white dresses with ruffled bodices, ragged laborers in white cotton rags, soldiers in short jackets...more

The Underdogs really reminded me of Blood Meridian by Cormack McCarthy. I think that there are several reasons for that. First, the story is very violent, but the violence is part of the environment. It is not gratuitous. The violence is simply as much a part of the environment as the blood red sunsets and the Sierra.
Another aspect of this book that reminds me of McCarthy's western novels is the terseness of the dialog. These characters are actually more talkative than the ones in McCarthy's wo...more

A novel of the Mexican revolution of 1910.
As in most revolutions, this was supposed to have been staged in order to topple a dictatorship and to gain freedom from tyranny. The book, however, illustrates that not all of those who take part in a revolution know what they are revolting for. Some 'freedom fighters' take to the hills with their own personal agenda, some of them even fugitives from the law themselves.
