1923List2852Mexico City 1923. Double-sided 8 ½ x 11 inch sheet handwritten with signature. Stained and slightly torn at fold. Excellent. Julio Enrique Ãvila 1892–1968 was a Salvadoran science professor journalist and poet. He is best known for his poetry anthology El mundo de mi jardÃn 1927. Offered here is a review of MarÃa Teresa Montoya in a production of Linares Rivas’ La Mala Ley at Mexico City’s Ideal Theater in 1923. In it Ãvila is captivated not by the play or Montoya’s performance but by the theater’s blind pianist. Translated from Spanish the review reads in part:<br /> <br /> “Staggering slightly and supported by a companion's shoulder a pale introspective young man makes his way between the seats. His hair is striking illuminated by a serene sadness and bears the color of dusk—as if the last ray of sunlight that once shone for him remained trapped within it… for him who is blind completely blind!<br /> <br /> “The audience claps impatiently… And he—who knows nothing of impatience—for whom time is endless who knows no early or late cannot understand this restless eagerness to push minutes forward this relentless dissatisfaction this desperate craving to experience everything—both suffering and joy—within the brevity of a lifetime. .<br /> <br /> “He must be a dreamer whose illusions lie far beyond reach a man of fantasy who cannot grasp his dream… His sensitive hands move over the keys as if searching for a path for a thread of melody to carry them away… They wander gathering jasmine in a harmonious garden to make an offering… They are like fledgling birds that have mistaken the moon bathing in the pond for their mother… And they follow it endlessly yet never reach it… and weep because they have been left alone… .<br /> <br /> “And through the music my soul has longed to embrace the soul of that lonely man that artist who dwells in sound who builds palaces and horizons out of melodies… The soul of that pale withdrawn young man who knows nothing of impatience for whom there is no early or late.â€<br /> <br /> Overall a striking work by a significant figure in Latin American literature. unknown
1974TEH004xiii346 pages with foldout map plates bibliography and index. Royal octavo 9 1/4" x 6 1/4" bound in original publisher's red cloth with gilt lettering to black spine label in pictorial jacket. The Texas Pan American Series. First edition. The Cristero War or Cristero Rebellion 1926–1929 also known as La Cristiada was a widespread struggle in many central-western Mexican states against the secularist anti-Catholic and anticlerical policies of the Mexican government. The rebellion was set off by enactment under President Plutarco Elías Calles of a statute to enforce the anticlerical articles of the Mexican Constitution of 1917 also known as the Calles Law. Calles sought to eliminate the power of the Catholic Church and organizations affiliated with it as an institution and also suppress popular religious celebration in local communities. The massive popular rural uprising was tacitly supported by the Church hierarchy and was aided by urban Catholic support. US Ambassador Dwight W. Morrow brokered negotiations between the Calles government and the Church. The government made some concessions the Church withdrew its support for the Cristero fighters and the conflict ended in 1929. It can be seen as a major event in the struggle between Church and State dating back to the 19th century with the War of Reform but it can also be interpreted as the last major peasant uprising in Mexico following the end of the military phase of the Mexican Revolution in 1920.
