Book Description
This first English translation makes avail­able to English-speaking readers a power­ful modern Mexican novel, first published in 1961. Fernando Benítez, well-known Mexican author, journalist, and winner of Mexico's 1968 best-book award, exploits a true but little-known incident by build­ing it into a tightly structured, tense, and tragic novel of social protest. The incident on which the novel is based is a bloody rebellion against the village feudal master touched off by joking comment on the "poisoning" of the water as one of Don Ulises's men is pushed into the plaza fountain. Feed­ing on itself, the rumor spreads that the "boss" has poisoned the local spring, and rebellion follows, with its violent and unforeseen consequences. The result is a frightening look at one of Mexico's major social problems and glaring ironies--that over fifty years after a revolution fought by the peasant and for the peasant, most rural groups are still living below the national economic standard.

Book Description
Se trata del discurso pronunciado en la Universidad Central, hoy día Universidad Complutense de Madrid, el día de su instalación (7 de noviembre de 1822) por el entonces Presidente de la Dirección General de Estudios, D. Manuel Josef Quintana. En él se refiere a la situación política, social y cultural de España; a las causas del atraso cultural que sufría el país; a la necesidad de mejorar culturalmente dando un nuevo enfoque a las Universidades (entre ellas la Universidad Central que se inagura) debilitadas y envilecidas en esos momentos por causas históricas como la Inquisición, aparte de la desidia en materia de educación que sufría el país de forma generalizada, etc.
