Reconquista (1908)

Reconquista is a novel written by Federico Gamboa and published in 1908. The book tells the story of a young Mexican man named Carlos, who comes from a wealthy family and has grown up sheltered from the realities of life. However, when he falls in love with a woman from a lower social class, he begins to question the values and beliefs of his upbringing.As Carlos becomes more involved with his new love interest and her community, he witnesses the injustices and inequalities that exist in Mexican society. He becomes increasingly disillusioned with his own privileged position and begins to question the legitimacy of the government and the ruling elite.Reconquista is a powerful critique of the social and political conditions in Mexico at the turn of the 20th century. It explores themes of class, race, and power, and offers a scathing indictment of the corruption and oppression that characterized Mexican society at the time.Through Carlos's journey of self-discovery, Gamboa offers a compelling and nuanced portrayal of the complex social and political dynamics that shaped Mexican history. The novel remains a classic of Mexican literature and a testament to the enduring legacy of the country's struggle for social justice and equality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
