Summary "Life in Mexico" by Madame Calderón de la Barca is a travel narrative written in the early 19th century. The book provides an intimate glimpse into the author's experiences and observations during her two-year residence in Mexico as the wife of the Spanish Minister. It covers various aspects of Mexican society, culture, and politics through detailed letters addressed to her family, illustrating the contrasts between her home country and her new environment. The opening of the narrative details Madame Calderón's departure from New York aboard the ship "Norma," highlighting her emotional farewells and reflections upon the journey. As she progresses through her travels, she shares vivid descriptions of her fellow passengers, the challenges of sea life, and the landscape she observes, including glimpses of Havana as she eventually arrives in Cuba. This introduction sets the tone for the vibrant and observant writing that characterizes the rest of her travelogue, which promises a rich exploration of the life and customs she encounters in Mexico.
