highly recommended

The most complete and detailed radiography of Mexico.

Some say that when this masterpiece appeared in Mexico it was perceived as a mexican offending his own country, many censured Paz ideas:the birth of criticism and freedom of speech was taking place in Mexico.Since those years (the 50's), this radiography hasn't change a lot and this book has become a truly must read book. Its like a pre guide tour of one of the most mysterious countries in the world.Paz wrote about mexicans masks and inner faces. His sensual poetic prose dances with intelligence and beauty.

Mexico is described with realism, criticism,wisdom and love.

I found this book full of sensibility and wisdom toward mexicans, their culture and periods, and search for identity. The author describes Mexico- past and present- with realism, criticism, and love. If someone wants to know why Mexico is like it is,the evolution of its ideas and its hidden differences with the United Estates, this is a great book !

Magnificant top of the line

To Octavio Paz you were a great writer to bad you have perished. This is book that will help any gringo who doesn't understand the mexican mentallity will be able to consume it verbally. And also for those who have some background of mexican ancestry will not be ignorant of there culture and learn more about it. Viva Mexico!

Very Objective

Paz give us one of the most objective views of Mexico, with this text is possible to understand a real perspective of mexican history.

Romantic observation of cultures and society.

In Labyrinth of Solitude, Paz in writing this essay, portrays the differences of cultures between several countries, explains how he views the mexican society in a way only a Nobel prize winner could. As you read the book you become aware of certain distinctions which prove usefull as you travel around the world, and in attempting to understand the people and their culture.
