Summary: "The Underdogs: A Novel of the Mexican Revolution" by Mariano Azuela is a historical novel set during the early 20th century, focusing on the tumultuous period of the Mexican Revolution. The narrative follows Demetrio Macias, a peasant who becomes a rebel leader, as he and his companions navigate the chaos and moral complexities of war, ultimately grappling with both the glory and the harsh realities of rebellion. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Demetrio's humble life in the sierra, where he faces both external threats from soldiers and internal strife regarding his family's safety. In a gripping opening sequence, he confronts armed soldiers who invade his home, leading him to take up arms and subsequently rally his neighbors. As Demetrio assembles a ragtag group of fellow fighters, named “the underdogs,” they embody the struggle of the disenfranchised against the oppressive forces of the government. The opening chapters set the stage for a narrative steeped in conflict, camaraderie, and the quest for justice in a war that promises to reshape their lives and the identity of Mexico itself.
