Ermilo Abreu Gómez's 1940 beloved novel weaves fiction with history, folklore, and a lucid evocation of the ambience of daily existence on the grand plantations of colonial Mexico.
Since its first publication 34 editions have appeared in Spanish, and it has been translated into languages ranging from Russian to Urdo. This translation has been made by anthropologist Mario L. Dávila and novelist Carter Wilson, both of whom have spent much time in rural Mexican society.
