Martín Luis Guzmán

Along with Mariano Azuela and Nellie Campobello, he is considered a pioneer of the revolutionary novel, a genre inspired by the experiences of the Mexican Revolution of 1910.

On Villa's orders, Guzmán witnessed the entry of Venustiano Carranza's Constitutionalist Army to Mexico City, following the fall of Victoriano Huerta's government in July 1914.

Leaving Spain for the United States, he represented España and taught a short course at University of Minnesota, returning to Mexico briefly, where he worked at Mexican newspapers.

Guzmán backed Adolfo de la Huerta's 1923 unsuccessful rebellion against Obregón and Calles, and was forced into exile to Spain for a decade, becoming a Spanish citizen.

He again became involved in journalism, but his largest contribution to writing was his work of revolutionary fiction, El águila y la serpiente.

She was 95 years old when, after being hospitalized for some days due to an acute bilateral pneumonia, she suffered a cardiac arrest and died.
