Interpretation Toward Books The Carreta (Jungle Novels #2)

It really is a shame that more people have not read B.Traven. His style and story telling is unfuckwithable.
That being said I thought this was not as good as Government, the first book in the jungle novels. The only flaw is in Mr. Travens beautiful written and extreamly detailed prose of daily mexican life. All is told in exquisite facftual tone with a thin but very hard cynical and humourus tone (mostly in regards to the government, church and other aspects of "civilization". At times it can drag on, but when you find it does just focus on what is being written, the way the words sweat and live on the page. It is amazing now and hard to believe he was writing in the 20^s. Pretty close to perfect. 4stars indeed.

but if you want perfect Traven, go with the Death Ship.

Traven is now one of my favorites writer, He did not born in Mexico but I feel proud if considering himself as a Mexican, it would be a truly honor the writing is about Mexican culture. A deep explanation about Mexican working life on days of Porfiriato. "Yo te ensañare a hablar castellano, a escribir, a leer y a contar. Porqe verás, no se puede escribir tzeltal, no tenemos letras. Sólo los ladinos tienen letras para su idioma".

My deep fondness for the author cannot salvage The Carreta. Squeezed between an overstretched section on the life of the carreteros and the most grotesque double-love story, the novel is the worst I have read so far. It exposes Traven's shortcomings when building characters and plots. As an anarchist and a social writer, B. Traven has the hardest time following the conventions of the novel, this most bourgeois of forms. Other anarchists of the same era have managed a lot better (Jules Valles or

It's a book about the life of the farmer's life in Mexico. Nearly the end of the Mexican Revolution. Here you can find the description of the life of the poor people and the rich people, and the corruption between the politicians.It's a good book, but kind of sad.

Era un ejemplo de la sabiduría de la Iglesia que se apresurara a juntar sus rebaños cuando están tiernos, porque la niñez acepta todo tal como se le dice y carece de la facultad de pensar por sí misma y de separar lo posible de lo probable y lo imposible de lo simbólico.

I can't remember the last book that taught me so much about what life was like at a certain point in history and told me a beautiful story at the same time.La Carreta is a book that goes beyond describing the lives of laborers and carreteros in the beginning of the 19th century, in the mountainous regions of the south of Mexico/northern Guatemala. It tells the story of Andrés, from the time that he is 12 years old to his late 20s. It doesn't just tell Andrés' story, it tells the story of the

Very disappointing. I had high hopes for this after reading 'The Rebellion of the Hanged', but it's not even half as good. The life of the cart driver is well described, but the burgeoning romance of the second half is embarrassing. That part is dull, lacking drama, and utterly unconvincing - it reads more like a personal fantasy that Traven should have kept inside his own head.
