Synopsis "el indio"

The classic and still powerful novel of a tragic people caught in the tail wind of a civilization both alien and hostile to them, from the first winner of the Mexican National Award in Literature.From their stick-and-mud village far up the mountains, the Indians can look across the wide Mexico that was once theirs and look down upon the houses and fields where they now do enforced labor for the mestizos and whites. Once proud and powerful, the tribe has added their conquerors to the natural perils of forest and jungle, famine and plague, as evils against which they and their witchcraft are powerless. Here, within this bounded and embattled world, a quietly moving story unfolds of a tragic people caught in the tail wind of a civilization both alien and hostile to them, a tale of brave men and lovers, of prophets and violence, of the tribal secrets put on every child's lips and impossible to forget.

Diego Rivera (1886-1957) was a prominent Mexican painter and muralist, known for his commitment to social and political art. His work mainly encompasses muralism, in which he depicted the history and social struggle of Mexico, standing out for his technique and the profound message of his works. Although more recognized for his visual work, he also ventured into literature with some publications, though he was not a prolific writer. Among his most iconic works are his murals at the National Palace and the Detroit Institute of Arts, and his co-authorship in books about his art and worldview.
