March to The Monteria

Více o knize

The narrative follows Indian laborers forced into the treacherous Mexican jungle by cruel labor agents, destined for brutal mahogany camps where many perish from violence. As they endure this harrowing journey, they rise against their oppressors, killing two agents in a quest for justice. The story intertwines with the broader struggle for land and freedom during the Mexican Revolution of 1910, highlighting the enduring spirit of these people, who later inspire the Zapatista movement in the 1990s. Bruno Traven masterfully captures their plight and resilience.
