Subcomandante Marcos, who became known worldwide not only as the commander of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation since the uprising on January 1, 1994, but also as a talented poet and writer, translates in his writings the language of the Indigenous people from Chiapas, Mexico, into a language that is understandable in the Western world and contemporary times, without losing the magic of its origins and centuries-old traditions. The politically philosophical messages of the narratives can be read both there and here as inspirations for a radically emancipatory practice.
