A un siglo de su aparición y ante la vigencia que ha tomado ultimamente por sus espectaculares aplicaciones en Cosmología, es relevante saber cuándo y por quién fue presentada y discutida en nuestro país por primera vez y cuál fue la profundidad con la que se explicó. El presente trabajo se ocupa de ello, comentando el primer libro que sobre esa disciplina fue escrito y publicado en México.]]></p></abstract>

A century after its appearence and because of the recently in importance it has taken Cosmology&#8217;s spectacular applications, it is relevant to know when and by whom it was presented and discussed in our country for the first time and what was the depth in which it was explained. This paper deals with it, comments the first book written and publish in General Relativity in Mexico.]]></p></abstract>
