Abstract

Octavio Paz has long been acknowledged as Mexico's foremost writer and critic. In this international classic, Paz has written one of most enduring and powerful works ever created on and its people, character, and culture. Compared to Ortega y Gasset's Revolt of Masses for its trenchant analysis, this collection contains his most famous work, The Labyrinth of Solitude, a beautifully written and deeply felt discourse on Mexico's quest for identity that gives us an unequalled look at country hidden behind the mask. Also included are The Other Mexico, Return to Labyrinth of Solitude, Mexico and United States, and The Philanthropic Ogre, all of which develop themes of title essay and extend his penetrating commentary to United States and Latin America.
