Written while in exile, the book provides a most critical perspective on Mexican post-revolutionary governments. While its sharp prose denounced the failings of culture and politics, it served to solidify the promise of a moral regeneration for the country. A polemical text— which is likely why it went through five editions during the first year it was published—Ulises Criollo takes the reader on the spiritual journey of one of Hispanic-America’s most lucid thinkers. 1st edition: unam-Mexico, 2007 Size: 4.72 in x 5.12 in ISBN: 978-970-32-4926-8 MSRP $13.75 USD Literature
