A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

It isn't often that we're introduced not just to a new work but a new literature yet that's what we're offered in this revelatory book. . . . This compilation really can be seen as a work of discovery, setting out Mayan literature in a single sweep, in transliteration and in Tedlock's own acclaimed translations. These are framed by fascinating background and interpretative discussion and, just as you'd hope in so important a work, it's all beautifully illustrated and handsomely presented. --The Scotsman
