Rebecca West's never-before-published "Survivors in Mexico
"brings""to readers a daring and provocative work by a major
twentieth-century author. An exhilarating exploration of Mexican
history, religion, art, and culture, it explores the inner lives of
figures ranging from Cortes and Montezuma to Diego Rivera, Frida
Kahlo, and Leon Trotsky.
"Witty and entertaining, substantive and reflective, insightful and
well documented, in splendid and uncommon prose, Rebecca West's
travelogue . . . is a model of British sophistication and knack for
seeing the other."--Jorge G. Castaneda, "New York Times Book Review
"
"An enthrallingly readable book . . . full of sharp impressions and
stimulating insights."--Merle Rubin, "Los Angeles Times Book
Review"
"Luscious reading. . . . The book succeeds beautifully as a
travelogue thanks to West's intellect and experience, with Mexico
serving as the vehicle for it all."--Sam Quinones, "Washington Post
Book World "
