Of course there are. The literature of Mexico is one of the most prolific and influential of the Spanish language along the literatures of Spain, Argentina and Cuba. Mexico's literature had its beginnings in the stories, poems and legends of the ancient Maya and Aztec civilizations.

Some examples are provided:

  • The Popol Vuh, The ChilamBalam - Authors unknown, translated from Maya hieroglyphics and word of mouth (13th century).
  • Codex Ixtlilxochitl, Codex Xolotl - Authors unknown, translated from Aztec codices (15th century).
  • First dream, Stubborn men - Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz (1648-1695).
  • The sound of the hearth, Today as never - Ramon Lopez Velarde (1888-1921).
  • Mexican Postcards, A new catechism for recalcitrant Indians - Carlos Monsivais (b. 1938).
  • The Death of Artemio Cruz, Aura - Carlos Fuentes (b. 1928).
  • Eastern Slope, Early Poems 1935-1955, The Labyrinth of Solitude - Octavio Paz (1914-1998) (Nobel Laureate).
