Una de las grandes obras maestras del siglo XX. Bajo el volc???n relata las ???ltimas horas de un hombre en su descenso moral y f???sico hacia las profundidades del fracaso y la muerte. Es D???a de Muertos y Geoffrey Firmin pasea por las cantinas de Quauhn???huac mientras dos volcanes, el Popocat???petl y el Iztacc???huatl, se asoman como tr???gico recordatorio de la crisis que tiene con Yvonne, quien acaba de regresar a M???xico como ???ltimo recurso para evitar la ca???da de su matrimonio y de Firmin, su esposo. En 1947 Malcolm Lowry public??? en lengua inglesa una de las obras fundamentales para las letras mexicanas: Bajo el volc???n , una suerte de premonici???n que deviene en profec???a, el relato delirante de un hombre arruinado por el alcohol, de los amantes fuera de su elemento, su Ed???n... Quauhn???huac es esa ciudad tempestad -tan real como imaginada- de tabernas para beber hasta la sobriedad, de perros callejeros, de ind???genas moribundos, de calles serpenteantes por las que desciende una procesi???n durante el D???a de Muertos. Una ciudad po???tica, el mito de la autodestrucci???n dominado por dos volcanes y esgrimido por medio de la c???bala 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.
