at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - 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.
