| | The Underdogs - Mariano Azuela |
 | | The Underdogs by Mariano Azuela Mariano Azuela, the first of the "novelists of the Revolution," was born in Lagos de Moreno, Jalisco, Mexico, in 1873. |
 | | When the counterrevolutionary forces of Victoriano Huerta were temporarily triumphant, he emigrated to El Paso, Texas, where in 1915 he wrote The Un- derdogs (Los de abajo), which did not receive general recogni- tion until 1924, when it was hailed as the novel of the Revolution. |
 | | But Azuela was fundamentally a moralist, and his disappoint- ment with the Revolution soon began to manifest itself. |
