Real Intendencia y período de la Guerra de Independencia en Oaxaca

A three-volume scholarly history of Mexico from European discovery through the U.S.-Mexican war, by scholar-priest of Queretaro and Tamaulipas (1934-2001).

"Las personas que vivieron y lucharon por la independencia del país, hace mas de 200 años, eran tan humanos como tú y también luchaban contra problemas de las vida diaria, como ir a comprar cosas, trabajar, vestirse, jugar, comer, bañarse y hasta consutar al doctor." -- page [4] of cover.

Los de abjo treats what is perhaps the saddest period in modern Mexican history, a period of aimless slaughter when a whole nation was plunged into strife by leaders who had few clear ideas of what they were striving for. The reader shares the same disillusionment that the author himself must have felt as he met leader after leader whose revolutionary zeal was merely a disguise for base passions and desires.

This work contains fresh information located at the Sergei Eisenstein Museum and in his personal archive, both located in Moscow, which clearly indicates that there is still more to say about the Soviet director's unfinished movie, financed by Upton Sinclair. The discovery of the first version of the screenplay as well as books on Mexico and bullfight programs enables the manner in which the film developed and was structured through short stories to be reconsidered.
