Una de las grandes obras maestras del siglo XX.

Bajo el volcán relata las últimas horas de un hombre en su descenso moral y físico hacia las profundidades del fracaso y la muerte.

Es Día de Muertos y Geoffrey Firmin pasea por las cantinas de Quauhnáhuac mientras dos volcanes, el Popocatépetl y el Iztaccíhuatl, se asoman como trágico recordatorio de la crisis que tiene con Yvonne, quien acaba de regresar a México como último recurso para evitar la caída de su matrimonio y de Firmin, su esposo.

En 1947 Malcolm Lowry publicó en lengua inglesa una de las obras fundamentales para las letras mexicanas: Bajo el volcán, una suerte de premonición que deviene en profecía, el relato delirante de un hombre arruinado por el alcohol, de los amantes fuera de su elemento, su Edén... Quauhnáhuac es esa ciudad tempestad -tan real como imaginada- de tabernas para beber hasta la sobriedad, de perros callejeros, de indígenas moribundos, de calles serpenteantes por las que desciende una procesión durante el Día de Muertos. Una ciudad poética, el mito de la autodestrucción dominado por dos volcanes y esgrimido por medio de la cábala y el mezcal.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Geoffrey Firmin, a former British consul, has come to Quauhnahuac, Mexico. Here the consul's debilitating malaise is drinking, an activity that has overshadowed his life.

Under the Volcano is set during the most fateful day of the consul's life--the Day of the Dead, 1938. His wife, Yvonne, arrives in Quauhnahuac to rescue him and their failing marriage, inspired by a vision of life together away from Mexico and the circumstances that have driven their relationship to the brink of collapse.

Yvonne's mission is to save the consul is further complicated by the presence of Hugh, the consul's half-brother, and Jacques, a childhood friend. The events of this one day unfold against a backdrop unforgettable for its evocation of a Mexico at once magical and diabolical.

Lots to love, but pages are thin
Format: Paperback
This is a great little book with a variety of pictures and some nice short descriptions to stimulate conversation. My main problem with it is that the pages are thin and when my 5 year old used a marker on them, it bled through 3 pages. (These were not particularly potent markers; if anything they were all bit dry and worn out.) Use crayons and you should be fine.

3 year old twins and older children all loved this coloring book and learned from the stories.
Format: Paperback
I bought 5 of these coloring books for my grandchildren. They started home sunday school at my house last Sunday and we used these books for the twin 3yr old boys. They actually memorized that God created the Heavens and the Earth. That was our lesson 1. They enjoyed coloring the pages related to the story!. Success on day 1! We will use the coloring books for children aged 9-3 in future. Well worth it for us! Hope you enjoy!

Amazing
Format: Kindle
This was one of the most amazing stories of truth of God's love that will increase your faith with the substance that only he can provide. If I had the time I probably would've finish this book in one day! It also shows that you have to bind the strongman over an area in order to spiritually move forward and it can only be done through God's Holy Spirit and power!
