Mariano Azuela, the first of the novelists of the Revolution, was
born in Lagos de Moreno, Jalisco, Mexico, in 1873. He studied
medicine in Guadalajara and returned to Lagos in 1909, where he
began the practice of his profession. He began his writing career
early; in 1896 he published Impressions of a Student in a weekly of
Mexico City. This was followed by numerous sketches and short
stories, and in 1911 by his first novel, Andres Perez, maderista.
Like most of the young Liberals, he supported Francisco I. Madero's
uprising, which overthrew the dictatorship of Porfirio Diaz, and in
1911 was made Director of Education of the State of Jalisco. After
Madero's assassination, he joined the army of Pancho Villa as
doctor, and his knowledge of the Revolution was acquired at
firsthand. When the counterrevolutio-nary forces of Victoriano
Huerta were temporarily triumphant, he emigrated to El Paso, Texas,
where in 1915 he wrote The Underdogs (Los de abajo), which did not
receive general recognition until 1924, when it was hailed as the
novel of the Revolution.
