Beautiful story based on personal experiences
Rosario Castellanos, one of Mexico's greatest writers, does a wonderful job of portraying life in ancient Chiapas. Specifically in Comitan, Rosario's hometown, and in Chactajal,which is a few miles off Comitan. Balun Canan(meaning '9 candles') is the name given by the ancient Mayan civilizations to Comitan.
This novel is rich in historical significance, but also based on the author's personal daily experiences which makes this novel truly enjoyable. Rosario shares her life as a young girl alongside her nanny and her family. Both Rosario and her nanny narrate this story at certain points, allowing us readers to infer their opinions and views on certain problems and dilemmas, which refer to a hard time in the history of Mexico. A hard time concerning the rebellin of the indian population, and the clear preocupation of those who were their owners, the white population.

Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Elena Poniatowska (née le 19 mai 1932 à Paris) est une journaliste, écrivaine et activiste politique mexicaine. Elena Poniatowska, née dans l'aristocratie princesse Hélène Elizabeth Louise Amélie Paula Dolores Poniatowska Amor, est la fille du prince Jean Joseph Evremond Sperry Poniatowski, descendant direct du roi Stanislas II de Pologne, et d'une mère mexicaine d'ascendance française. Dans les mois précédant les élections présidentielles mexicaines de 2006, Elena Poniatowska apporta son soutien au candidat du Parti de la révolution démocratique, Andrés Manuel López Obrador. En avril 2006, elle apparut dans une série de spots télévisés pour dénoncer les pratiques « calomnieuses » des deux autres principaux partis, le Parti action nationale et le Parti révolutionnaire institutionnel. Ceux-ci cherchaient d'après elle à rapprocher López Obrador de la politique gauchiste du président vénézuélien Hugo Chávez, et à l'accuser de nuire à l'économie du pays. Cet engagement provoqua de vives réactions de la part des partisans des partis conservateurs. Mais Elena Poniatowska reçut également l'appui d'un certain nombre d'intellectuels étrangers qui publièrent une brochure en sa faveur. 24 personnalités internationales signèrent le document : le Prix Nobel de littérature 1998 José Saramago, Nélida Piñon, Rubem Fonseca, Rosa Montero, Juan Goytisolo, Fernando Savater, Helena Araujo, Laura Restrepo, Álvaro M...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...
