Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of Mexico I Have yielded with a good deal of reluctance to the importunities of many of my friends in consenting to devote the little leisure which is left me from professional and other avocations, to writing the following pages. No thought of such a thing ever occurred to me during my residence in Mexico, or I should have supplied myself, as I had abundant means of doing, with the materials for such a work. The book, therefore, will be found to contain just what its title imports - "Recollections and Desultory Dissertations." The reader must not expect the life and freshness of a finished picture, but mere sketches and outlines - nor that minute exactness of detail on many subjects which may be desirable, although I believe that the sketches will be found to be generally accurate; I can say in the words of an affidavit to an answer in chancery, "that the facts stated as of my own knowledge are true, and those stated on the information of others I believe to be true." I am not sure, however, that a description of the customs, scenes, and peculiarities of a country is not generally the better for being written a year or two after the writer has left it. The want of exactness in minute particulars is compensated by the absence of a sometimes wearisome tediousness of detail, and often of circumstances of interest only to the writer. And it is perhaps also true that the general remembrance - a sort of skeleton map which is left on the mind of the writer will give to the reader a more accurate coup d'aeil of the country and all its peculiarities, physical and social, than a more minute description. Before I went to Mexico I sought in vain for some work which would give me some idea of the society, manners, and customs of that unique, and, in a great degree, primitive people. This want has been since supplied. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: iThe events described herein are intended to be a new public contributionto the history of the Mexican Empire. I have seen and experienced these events during the most memorable months of my life./i With these words, an unlikely individual began to pen a valuable historical memoir. What started as a volunteer mission to Mexico quickly thrust obscure Samuel Basch, Austrian medical doctor, into the role of confidant and personal physician to Maximilian, Emperor of the short-lived Mexican empire. Keenly aware of the magnitude of the drama surrounding him and his position as an insider, Basch kept daily notes and astutely observed the court intrigues and other events of his days with the Emperor. This carefully gathered information was then crafted into a compelling firsthand overview of the last months of Maximilian, who was persuaded in 1864 to take the throne as part of Napoleon III's scheme to establish an empire in Mexico.P iRecollections of Mexico The Last Ten Months of Maximilian's Empirei offers scholars a rare authoritative source on this little-known, yet important, period in Mexican history. Written in 1868, this book has been masterfully translated word for word from the original German by editor Fred D. Ullman, a distant relative of Dr. Basch, and includes his added annotations and comments that further augment the text. p Basch begins his account chronicling the last months leading up to the overthrow of Maximilian by Mexican Republicans. He recounts the defeat of the Emperor's army, his subsequent capture, and execution by firing squad on June 19, 1867. He describes his interaction with the Emperor as well as Maximilian's rapidly crumbling hold on power. Basch writes with a style that is at once detached and yet quite sentimental.p This memoir is a unique and necessary addition to courses on nineteenth-century Mexican history.p

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of Mexico: And the Battle of Buena Vista, Feb; 22 and 23, 1847 States, at Bardstown Ky., with the son of Henry Clay, a lieut.-colonel of Gen. Wool's forces at the time that command passed through Parras, en route to Saltillo The true and cor dial spanish-mexican embrace was given to the colonel by Don Manuel, and a hearty welcome to our troops and our officers could hardly restrain him from turning the whole army into his wine-cellars in his excess of hospitable feeling He, with many of the best Mexicans, had an intense hatred of the tyranny of Santa Ana, and held himself ready for resistance to him. As instances of the wealth at com mand of these ricos in that country, I would mention, that we were told of one gentleman, who, when Santa Ana's army started from San Luis to cross the arid desert to attack us, had presented five thousand mules to that general to transport water for the troops; and of another, who had mounted a whole regiment of lancers on horses of one color, and that no common color for that animal, nan keen, as a present to his country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This remarkable first novel depicts life in the small Mexican town of Ixtepec during the grim days of the Revolution. The town tells its own story against a variegated background of political change, religious persecution, and social unrest. Elena Garro, who has also won a high reputation as a playwright, is a masterly storyteller. Although her plot is dramatically intense and suspenseful, the novel does not depend for its effectiveness on narrative continuity. It is a book of episodes, one that leaves the reader with a series of vivid impressions. The colors are bright, the smells pungent, the many characters clearly drawn in a few bold strokes. Octavio Paz, the distinguished poet and critic, has written that it "is truly an extraordinnary work, one of the most perfect creations in contemporary Latin American literature."
