    5.0 out of 5 stars No pierde actualidad
    Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    Tan dolorosamente cierto hace 70 años como lo sería ahora si la historia se contara en nuestros días, los indios y los "blancos" no sólo hablan otro idioma, son distintos, piensan distinto, pero sufren igual. Historia de guerras y abandonos y muerte y migraciones, de ricos y pobres, de hechicería, religión, medicina y muerte. Es el México que nos negamos a ver, con prejuicios, corrupción, ignorancia, supersticiones, narrado a veces con un hálito poético a veces, a otros con un tono de tragedia clásica y a veces visto a través de los ojos de una niña rica que no entiende lo que está pasando. Este libro es una verdadera joya.

    Habia leido este libro como asignatura, hace ya muchos años. Lo habia olvidado. No se todavia si es una novela o un poema en capitulos; las oraciones son una belleza, incluso cuando describen lo mas mundano del pueblo. "La niña" me sorprende y me llena de dolor. Sin querer dar muchos detalles, debo decirles que es una historia que se debe leer mas de una vez, si es possible dejando pasar un poco de tiempo entre lecturas.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Era bueno, no más difícil de leer como cualquier que leo en español.
    Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    Era bueno, no más difícil de leer como cualquier que leo en español. Muchas palabras que no se dicen ni se escuchan por lo normal. La otra cosa que no me gustó es el formato de la historia. El cambio entre punto de vista es confuso y carece razón, y la historia en si no aparento tener cualquier punto.

    Leyó como "un cuento de las dolencias del mundo hispano blanco, pero ah, y también los indios sufren." En si esa es una perspectiva interesante e historico, pero no consta ser un cuento por decir.

    En realidad lo daría un 3.6 de 5

    Gran trama situado a mediados de los años cuarenta en la frontera entre Mexico y Guatemala y que retrata las costumbres de la época, los amos dueños de todas las tierras y el mal trato a los indios y sus familias y la llegada del Presidente Cardenas al poder. Muy bellamente escrito y documentado.

    Through beautiful words, it takes you back to years of President Lazaro Cardenas in south of Mexico, for indians and the high class world.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Envolvente
    Reviewed in Spain on August 31, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    Ante todo, decir que me ha parecido una magnífica novela. Ubicada en Chiapas, Mexico, durante el mandato de Lázaro Cárdenas en la década de los 30 del siglo XX, retrata magníficamente los conflictos entre la clase pseudoesclavizada, los indígenas descendientes de los Mayas y la familia dominante, los blancos ricos y explotadores.
    A través de varias voces, de ambos lados, muestra por un lado la pérdida de poder de la familia Argüello, los dueños y señores de la tierra, con sus conflictos internos, y cómo los indígenas luchan por sacudirse esa esclavitud enmascarada y normalizada. Más allá de la interesante historia, que envuelve y perturba, es importante señalar la riqueza narrativa y la maravillosa prosa de la autora Rosario Castellanos. Sobresalientes la escena del rio y la del incendio (De lo mejor que he leído en mucho tiempo) y sin destripar más argumento distinguir la potencia de los personajes femeninos, tanto por sus acciones como por sus elocuentes omisiones. Esta es , como tantas otras, una joya literaria que bien podría ser un clásico de la literatura latinoamericana. No defrauda y emociona.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Balun-Cananán Review
    Reviewed in Canada on December 10, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    A story about life and customs in the 1930s on the southern border of Mexico. Written by a renowned Mexican writer who recounts the little-known customs and language of the 1930s and describes the transition suffered by the wealthy class after losing their extensive properties.

    A book suitable for those who want to learn Spanish, bathed in words and expressions, the book teaches us the social hierarchies that are still so palpable in any society today. Hierarchies that we are slowly changing.
