Autorenporträt
Mariano Azuela (1873-1952) was a Mexican novelist and physician best known for his influential work ""The Underdogs"" (""Los de Abajo""), which offers a powerful portrayal of the Mexican Revolution. Born in Lagos de Moreno, Mexico initially trained as a physician but became increasingly involved in literature and politics, particularly during the revolutionary period. His writing is characterized by its realism and social critique, reflecting the experiences and struggles of ordinary people caught in the tumult of revolution. Azuela's works often focus on themes of injustice, disillusionment, and the complexities of human nature. In addition to ""The Underdogs,"" he authored several other novels, essays, and short stories, contributing significantly to Mexican literature. Azuela's legacy continues to resonate, as he is regarded as a key figure in the development of modern Mexican narrative and a voice for the marginalized in society. He moved to Mexico City, where he spent the remainder of his life writing and practicing medicine among the impoverished.
