About This Book
Traducida a 10 idiomas, esta obra clásica de la literatura ecuatoriana consagró a Jorge Icaza como uno de los mejores escritores ecuatorianos contemporáneos y como el representante más notorio del movimiento indigenista latinoamericano. Libro que por la fuerza de su mensaje llegó a ser prohibido en varios países. Un referente que sin duda ayuda a entender la legitimidad de las luchas indígenas en América.
