Imprint Trillas ISBN 9786071739728 Edition number 2 Publication year 2020 Pages 512 Format Printed THEMA Language and Linguistics Synopsis There is no doubt that the Aztec civilisation is among the greatest cultures in the world.

More than a century into the post-revolution and modernity, Villa remains a controversial figure among historians and, in general, among Mexican society of our time. Pancho Villa embodies the guerrilla who despises death. His humble origins and tragic youth explain the character that led him to lead the fearsome Division del Norte. With virtues and defects, Villa conveys one of the moods of the Mexican, when the temperament is inflamed by a situation of injustice. foreign rights contact Jorge Durán E-mail jorge.duran@trillas.mx -
