Summary

"La sublevación de Martínez" es un cuento de Blasco Ibáñez que, con un tono irónico, describe los avatares de un humilde hombre del campo mejicano que utiliza la revolución para medrar en la vida. Iletrado, megalómano y dominado por su mujer, la escalada en el poder de Doroteo Martínez refleja la deriva de los movimientos revolucionarios tan comunes en la historia temprana de la República Mejicana. Y si la narración denuncia el caos y la arbitrariedad de las instituciones en Méjico, el retrato del protagonista y de su mujer, la temible Guadalupe, mujer de carácter que ha hecho la guerra con su marido, nos ofrece una mirada divertida pero descarnada a los protagonistas de un tiempo convulso.

Diseño de portada: David Rubiales Suárez.

"La sublevación de Martínez" is a short story by Blasco Ibáñez that, with an ironic tone, describes the adventures of a humble man from the Mexican countryside who uses the revolution to get ahead in life. Illiterate, megalomaniac and dominated by his wife, Doroteo Martínez's rise to power reflects the drift of the revolutionary movements so common in the early history of the Mexican Republic. And if the author denounces the chaos and arbitrariness of Mexico's institutions, the portrait of the protagonist and his wife, the fearsome Guadalupe, a woman of character who has gone to war with her husband, offers an amusing but stark look at the protagonists of a convulsive time.
