Synopsis
Excerpt from Adventures in Bolivia
We know that our own withers are not quite um erring. Thus, by degrees and in the hard school of experience, we are learning not to condemn men who acted by the standards Of their age by our own code. Take both codes away, and drop me an impartial judge down from the moon, he might not find much real difference between the Spaniards Of the age of Charles V and ourselves, the sons Of progress and of light. Still, there are fellows of the baser sort, your piing traveller with his bad jokes, contempt of anything not forged upon his Peck ham anvil, or registered so many degrees north, east or west from the meridian of Balham, with clichés from Old books as if the course Of time changed nothing, and no fresh matter ever came to light, to tell us all the Spanish conquerors were cruel rogues and thieves. He lets us know that in their thirst for gold and zeal for their damned Papism, they exterminated all the Indians, leaving not one alive. He is read, commented on and re viewed by men as ignorant and prejudiced as he himself, and so the ball rolls on, ever increasing like a mass of snow set trundling down a slope.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a captivating account of a journey to a remote, isolated Indian community in the Bolivian Andes. The author, a horse trainer, embarks on a perilous expedition, venturing into territory previously deemed inaccessible to outsiders. He braves harsh conditions, traversing treacherous mountain passes, experiencing extreme temperatures, and navigating a landscape teeming with fascinating flora and fauna. His journey is not only a personal one of exploration but also a quest to dispel historical misconceptions about the Spanish conquistadors. The author confronts the long-held view that Spanish conquerors ruthlessly exterminated indigenous populations. He argues, through his encounters with the Indians, that many survived the conquest and maintain their own traditions and way of life. The author's keen observations offer a fresh perspective on the lives and customs of the indigenous people, highlighting their resilience and ability to preserve their culture. His account paints a vivid picture of their community, their beliefs, and their relationship with the outside world. By documenting this hidden corner of the Americas, the author challenges traditional interpretations of history and sheds light on the enduring legacy of indigenous cultures.
