The Villagers is a story of the ruthless exploitation and extermination of an Indian village of Ecuador by its greedy landlord. First published in 1934, it is here available for the first time in an authorized English translation.A realistic tale in the best tradition of the novels of social protest of Zola, Dostoevsky, José Eustasio Rivera, and the Mexican novels of the Revolution, The Villagers (Huasipungo) shocked and horrified its readers, and brought its author mingled censure and acclaim, when it was first published in 1934.Deeply moving in the dramatic intensity of its relentless evolution and stark human suffering, Icaza’ s novel has been translated into eleven foreign languages, including Russian and Chinese, and has gone through numerous editions in Spanish, including a revised and enlarged edition in 1953, on which this translation is based, but it has never before been authorized for translation into English. His first novel, but not his first published work, The Villagers is still considered by most critics as Icaza’ s best, and it is widely acclaimed as one of the most significant works in contemporary Latin American literature.Thirty years after its original publication in Ecuador, The Villagers still carries a powerful message for the contemporary world and an urgent warning. The conditions here portrayed prevail in these areas, even today. The Villagers is an indictment of the latifundista system and a caustic picture of the native worker who, with little expectation from life, finds himself a victim of an antiquated feudal system aided and abetted by a grasping clergy and an indifferent government.

"e;Huasipungo"e; (1934), novela emblematica del indigenismo de Jorge Icaza, denuncia la brutal explotacion de los indigenas en la hacienda Cuchitambo, propiedad de Don Alfonso Pereira. Acorralado por deudas, Pereira se asocia con extranjeros para construir una carretera y explotar madera, lo que intensifica la opresion sobre los indigenas, forzandolos a trabajar en condiciones infrahumanas sin paga, a cambio de un "e;huasipungo"e; (pequena parcela de tierra). La trama sigue a Andres Chiliquinga, un indio que sufre vejaciones, enfermedades y la muerte de su esposa, Cunshi. La indiferencia del terrateniente y las autoridades (politicas y eclesiasticas) ante las desgracias y una inundacion que destruye sus precarios hogares, siembra las semillas de la rebelion. Finalmente, los indios se levantan en un acto desesperado por defender su tierra. La revuelta es sofocada violentamente por el ejercito y la elite blanca. La novela culmina con la masacre de los indigenas, simbolizando un grito de dolor y denuncia social contra un sistema feudal opresivo.
