2 comments about A Vagabond in Mexico.
- A Vagabond in Mexico has its moments, but the author's unwillingness to provide information about himself means the reader is left in the dark as to why he chose this little adventure, what motivated him to go slumming in Mexico.
Moderately interesting, but it will seem very shallow to anyone familiar with the country and the people.
- The book that i chos for my 4th quater book report on a fiction book is called, A Vagabond in Mexico, and was written by S. Guzman-C. The book starts off as the main character who is also the author of the book, is arriving in mexico on bus. At first he goes there so he can find a decent job, and really get a good look on how citizens there live. Along his journey he takes up a couple of jobs each different from the first. He has worked as a fisherman, caretaker, farm laborer, leather shop worker, and many other boring. Each job at first he would the learner, and over time he became very welled skilled at his work. Also along the way he would meet locals and even some people from the states. Most of them were either his boss or his co-workers. He would work for these people and in return they would give him a place to stay and some food. This is how he would get by while his saty in mexico. So basically the book is about a man trying to find his true calling in a foreign land.
Throughout the book i really like how the main character would live off of his labor and hard work. What i mean by this is that he would hike or hitch hike to town to town working for food and shelter. He never gave up. Also i enjoyed the different people he would throughout the book. My favorite one was Chino who lived in the first town that Guzman stops at. Chino gives him a place to stay and intorduces him to everyone and reall watches out for him. The only thing that i could say that i disliked about the book because it was very dull and boring. He would talk about doing every day things. Like getting up in the morning and brushing your teeth and eating breakfest and stuff like that. He could of made it more exciting. I mean who is going to know what really happened. Over all i thought this book was ok and would not recommend it to anyone.

1 comments about The Memoirs of Fray Servando Teresa de Mier (Library of Latin America).
- An extraordinary book. One of Oxford University Press' 'Library of Latin America' series, translated from the Spanish by Helen Lane, here is a tome worthy of high praise. Fray Servando Teresa de Mier y Noriega (Mexico, 1763-1827), persecuted by the Inquisition for thirty years for his challenge to the colonial mentality and his willingness "to play an active role in movements of emancipation," Written in the Inquisitor's prisons, this is a topsy-turvy book where Europeans are the barbarians. Refreshing! De Mier was famed in his own time as a scholar and thinker, &indeed these 240 pages unsheathe a remarkable man, revealing with a novelist's succinct eye the true nature of the world and its passing, and our time in it. Impossible to overstate the beauty and severity of a spirituality in high bloom. Recommended.

2 comments about Footprint Central America and Mexico 15th Edition.
- Footprint have produced a cracking guide to the region, i used this book day in and day out over 6 months and found it absolutely invaluable. It was especially good in taking me away from the crowds into some of the more remote and untouched areas of Mexico and Central America. This is a great value buy, incredibly well written and extremely informative - it won`t let you down!
- (Planeta Journal) The Handbook looks better than ever. This 15th edition of this guide provides reliable information about general tourism as well profiles of national parks and reserves in Mexico and Central America. This is a terrific guide and the format is easy to follow. Colorful pictures and maps complement the text.
