Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. The cultural and societal upheaval brought about by Spanish conquest is brought to life in this fascinating exploration of the natural world and its brutal clash with European supremacy. The indigenous inhabitants of Peru, led by the Inca Ataliba, strive to preserve their way of life and traditions against the onslaught of Western colonization. At the heart of this struggle is a forbidden love between Cora, a priestess of the Sun, and Alonzo, a Spanish conquistador. Through the lens of this forbidden love, the book deftly explores the dichotomy between the sacred and the secular, the natural and the civilized. It highlights the ways in which European conquest and religious dogma destroyed lives and disrupted cultural beliefs. The author's nuanced portrayal of both the Spanish and Andean perspectives adds depth to the narrative, and challenges readers to question their own assumptions about progress and the nature of civilization. Ultimately, this book is a powerful meditation on the tragic consequences of colonization and the enduring power of the human spirit. It is a thought-provoking and timely work that offers a fresh perspective on the complexities of cultural conflict and the importance of preserving cultural diversity.
