Synopsis "Ciudad Real (in Spanish)"

Premio Xavier Villaurrutia 1960.-

El libro por el cual Rosario Castellanos fue galardonada con el premio Xavier Villaurrutia. Ciudad Real fue el antiguo nombre de San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas, y es el escenario de este libro, en el cual una cultura sojuzgada y oprimida durante siglos clama por su derecho a existir. Al mostrar la otra cara de la historia, estos cuentos denuncian las condiciones miserables en que han sobrevivido los tzotziles, tzeltales, lacandones y chamulas, desde el día en que el pie de los caxlanes, los hombres blancos, pisó sus tierras.
