In his most celebrated work, Mexican writer Francisco Rojas
Gonzalez offers a rare blend of literature and indigenous
anthropology. Inspired by his fieldwork in Chiapas, Mexico, these
13 stories reflect the author's preoccupation with the totality of
Mexican life and capture his heralded ability to penetrate the
contradictions of human nature. The book is a dramatic presentation
of myths, religious beliefs, and customs of Mexican Indians framed
in their rigid, overpowering code of ethics. It served as the basis
for the 1954 film "Roots," which won the FIPRESCI Prize at the
Cannes Film Festival of 1955.
