Described hard but fairly and honestly, the slipcase,actually having the most noticeable and most detractable faults - still an acceptable copy though. Ignacio Manuel Altamirano ,was born to a very poor family of pure Indian stock. Until 14,he only spoke the tribal dialect of his people. Later he entered a private college in Toluca and trying his hand at teaching,he wandered from place to place,finally reaching Mexico City.
In ,he took part in the mestizo uprising and on his return to Mexico City became the leader of a group of young journalists interested in social reforms and the improvement of literature. By Altamirano had already founded or was editing several newspapers and magazines,and contributed to many others;this year saw his creation of EL Renacimiento,a weekly magazine of considerable literary influence.
Altamirano,the greatest writer of his time,was also a great patriot. His novels are often used as vehicles to preach the morality he so fervently believed in,patriotism, honesty and chastity,and this sometimes results in his characters appearing unreal to the modern reader. His two principal novels,Clemencia and EL Zarco are both short and share a preoccupation with the tragedy of human life.
The setting s for both were taken from the author's own experiences of war and civil strife. Both novels,as indeed all his writings,are a faithful record of the troubled times in which he lived.
