Set against the backdrop of the Mexican Revolution, the narrative follows an illiterate yet charismatic Indian peasant farmer who initially embraces the rebellion against Porfirio Díaz. As the revolutionary movement becomes divided, he grapples with disillusionment, leading to a profound loss of faith in the cause. Azuela's work offers a genuine depiction of peasant life, the fervor of revolution, and the complexities of political ideals, making it a significant contribution to literature on this tumultuous period.
