Excerpt from An American Girl in Mexico After what seemed to us a pleasantly endless circuit up one stony street and down another, we alighted at a quaint looking hotel. A German clerk received us with the most elaborate mixture of German and Spanish manners, and, as soon as we had registered, proceeded to write our names on a blackboard which hung in the entrv, with the number Of the room opposite each name. Then we went to breakfast. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The American Girl In the lives of the great mass of girls no dra matic changes of circumstances or fortune ever come; but they are doing all sorts of useful things beyond their obvious duty of being decent to their parents and, later, good wives and mothers. All over the country, in the big cities, small towns and even villages the American girl (perhaps she is young and perhaps she is middle aged) is working gratuitously for the health, beauty and general welfare of her community. She is a leader in work for children, in modern charity and in movements for civic improvement. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

This enduring classic of Mexican literature traces the path to ruination of a country girl, Santa, who moves to Mexico City after she is impregnated and abandoned by her lover and subsequently shunned by her family. Once in the city, Santa turns to prostitution and soon gains prominence as Mexico City's most sought-after courtesan. Despite the opportunities afforded by her success, including the chance to quit prostitution, Santa is propelled by her personal demons toward her ultimate downfall. This evocative novel--justly famous for its vividly detailed depiction of the cityscape and the city's customs, social interactions, and political activities--assumed singular importance in Mexican popular culture after its original publication in 1903. The book inspired Mexico's first "talkie" and several other film adaptations, a music score, a radio series, a television soap opera, and a pornographic comic book. Naturalist writer Federico Gamboa, who was also a lawyer and politician, reveals much about Mexican mores and culture at the start of the twentieth century and beyond, from expectations regarding gender roles to the myth of the corrupting and decadent city. In describing how Santa is at the mercy of social problems beyond her control, Gamboa provides a rich historical portrayal of widespread conditions in the years leading to the Mexican Revolution.

Excerpt from An American Girl in London I have written this account only secondarily and at the instigation of publishers, for Americans. Primarily, I wrote it for the English people. I composed it in their country; it was suggested by their institutions, and it is addressed to them. You will see, if you read it, that I had reasons for doing this. The reasons are in the first chapter, at the very beginning. As you have not far to look for them, therefore, and as it is quite unnecessary to print a thing twice in the same book, I will not go over them again. The object of this preface is chiefly to draw your attention to the fact that I am not talking to you, dear compatriot, so that you will nu derstand that there is no personal ground for any annoyance you may feel at what I say.

Excerpt from Under the Cactus Flag a Story of Life in Mexico IN the quiet town of Corona, far to the south of the great western State that basks along the warm Pacific shores, lived little Mary Annesley. She was barely sixteen when this chapter of her story opens, and Whatever might have been said of her after wards, She would scarcely at that time have been selected as a heroine of romance. Her tresses, when unbound, lacked much of sweeping the ground; her eyes were not of the kind that dazzle the beholder with their brilliancy nobody had yet likened the pose of her figure to the sway of a lily on its stalk, and her entrance into crowded assemblies had never, so far, provoked gen eral murmurs of admiration.
