by JohnCharlesChasteen (Editor), Federico Gamboa (Author)
This evocative novel - justly famous for its vividly detailed depiction of the cityscape and the city's customs, social interactions, and political activities - assumed singular importance in Mexican popular culture after its original publication in 1903. The book inspired several film adaptations, a music score, a radio series, a television soap opera, and a pornographic comic book.
