Born January 1, 1873, in Lagos de Moreno, Jalisco, Mexico, Mariano Azuela was one of the leading writers of twentieth-century Mexico and the foremost chronicler of the Mexican revolution. He began his career as a physician; he was director of public education in Jalisco province under government of Francisco ("Pancho") Villa, and served as a physician in Villa's army during the Mexican Revolution. During his forty-year literary career Azuela wrote more than twenty novels in addition to plays, novellas and criticism. Much of his writing focused on pointing out and rectifying social inequality. He died of a heart attack March 1, 1952, in Mexico City, Mexico.
The Mariano Azuela Papers consists of typescripts for two of Azuela's novels. El desquite was an experimental novel published in 1925. Precursores was published in 1935. Both have the author's handwritten corrections, and both are signed and inscribed by Azuela to Ernest R. Moore.
