About this title: In Paz's non-fiction examination of Mexico's history and mythology, he laments the loss of Mexican identity and sees that as due to the enormous number of influences that have affected the country, particularly its Indian and Spanish past and the all-pervasive presence of the United States.

"It is really exciting to read Paz because he captures the real meaning of "solitude." for Mexicans, this word is a whole world, an old and new experience of how to see their culture, yet to understand their pre-colombian origins...it is a book that teaches you to understand the difference between Meztizo and Criollo...I love reading it."
"Lo estoy leyendo en español pero los comentarios son más abundantes y ricos aquí con la edición en inglés. Nunca lo leí en mi juventud escolar y lo hago ahora con fascinación. Es de aquellos libros que pueden ser favoritos durante años."
